This is up to the packages to decide if they want to make it a dependency or not.
You're free to change the terminal to whatever you like it.

Jenna:
As the user can decide which terminal to use, xterm is not a dependency in our control-file, "just" a recommendation.
I never use xterm and forcing a user to install something he do not need and do not want is not correct in my opinion.
A user would not be able to remove xterm without removing C::B also.

But the ubuntu-maintainers zuse their own control-file (at least they did in the past), so it might be different there.
