Incorrect. You need build-time dependencies to change an application, and runtime dependencies to run it.

Deploying/scaling is somewhere in the middle.

Yeah, I should have clarified I was talking with my operations hat on. From a development perspective, you might call it a "deploy-time" or "scale up" dependency.
