Well, to get CUPS support in netatalk, I believe it has to be used at build
time, hence the dependency.  However, this is a case that could be addressed
by the addition of an options.mk configuration options.  In that case, you
could configure it out of netatalk in mk.conf for your own setup (though
binpkg users would get the dependency for maximum compatibility reasons).
