The SDK automatically includes a dependency on the packages supplied with the SDK such as <code>addon-kit</code> and <code>api-utils</code>. This means that you can <code>require()</code> modules in the SDK such as <code>widget</code> and <code>page-mod</code> without having to specify <code>addon-kit</code> as a dependency.

You can also use modules from other packages, such as the packages listed [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Jetpack/Modules here], by including a reference to the package in your <code>package.json</code> file.

However, if you do add any dependencies to <code>package.json</code>, then the SDK will no longer add  <code>addon-kit</code> or <code>api-utils</code>  automatically, and you must add them manually if you want to include their modules.

From dietrich on IRC:
<dietrich> packages dir in add-on root should be additive tothe core
not replace the core
(in terms of absolute dependencies)
i guess it's not about the packages dir though
<peregrino> dietrich: yes, but I think that is something not yet fully documented
<dietrich> it's the fact that specifying anything in the dependencies field in package.json blows away the default dependendencies
