rospack depend does not resolve distribution dependencies

[Vuwij]

When running
rospack depend application

Following error is retrieved
[rospack] Error: package 'application' depends on non-existent package 'opencv3' and rosdep claims that it is not a system dependency. Check the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH or try calling 'rosdep update'.

Where application depends on opencv3 as a package dependency. Shouldn't it be able to resolve this?
