I'm sorry, but I really have to disagree very strongly.  I can think
of plenty of use cases where increasing the dependencies like this
can cause major pain to users.  I happen to be one of those users,
because I don't have root on my database servers, which means that I
don't make policy there.

I have no objection whatever to adding some sort of
tools_super_package or something.  But adding requirement on
requirement just raises barriers to entry for people.

I remember when computers were frustrating because they *did* exactly what 
you told them to.  That actually seems sort of quaint now.
