Long time ago, but I ran again into this issue and now found out my
problem with it:

Of course, you are right, the properties inputs and
inputsFromDependencies are not mutual exclusive.

But: I used variable "input" at one place in my prepare code. With
that, the inputs variable contains only the tags from "inputs" and not
from "inputsFromDependencies". If I only access "inputs" in prepare
code, it contains all tags.

Very unexpected behaviour (and I believe undocumented as well).
