It is not a direct dependency of calligra. Nothing in our code directly uses it, so I suspect it's a dependency of kde, qt or something else and that the reason it isn't installed is that the distro you use has broken something.

There's no reason for calligra to explicitly depend this library -- it's something transitive. And if I were you, I'd just insall it.
