To not change a water pump with the cambelt is utter madness or just being tight.
Every cambelt I've ever changed has had a water pump.

I think you make a really important point there. My pump was at 80,000 miles and the pump felt good however as you say bear in mind any real issues and you will destroy an engine.
It is torqued to 10Nm which is nothing. So simple to remove and work with, you would be a fool to risk it.
