In this particular case the result of 'aptitude why' is misleading, to
say the least:

$ aptitude why speech-dispatcher
i   grub2        Depends  grub-common (= 2.02~beta3-5)
i A grub-common  Suggests desktop-base (>= 4.0.6)
i A desktop-base Suggests gnome | kde-standard | xfce4 | wmaker
p   gnome        Depends  gnome-orca (>= 3.22)
p   gnome-orca   Depends  speech-dispatcher (>= 0.8)
