(Have already followed up with Jarod offlist, but just for the record)

Wasn't suggesting package management was to blame here, was suggesting
that the above command installed the build dependencies and not the
runtime ones, and that it was therefore likely unnecessary.  What I
meant was if some runtime dep was missed, or was somehow only
obtainable by getting the build dependencies, that it would be an
issue of package management.
