Because yast2 contains libraries for easy package installation. And that is 
provided by the yast2-packagemanager. Depending on the version of YaST code, 
it might be that even yast2-core depends on yast2-packagemanager.

This is not needed in principle. Using yast2-core, you can run any YCP script 
even without UI. For example, try
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base <script> testsuite

This will run the <script> without any UI - but don't call UI builtins then :)
