If Debian will keep track of package dependencies, and we are not so
worried about other platforms (expecting them to match Debian's
approach), and we're satisfied that their approach resolves the issues
I've brought up (OS package dependencies and dynload module/general
binary distribution), then it's a lot less important to have
dependencies on OS packages in ELPA packages or to provide any binaries
(the two ELPA features I've proposed so far).
If we agree on that, then ELPA packages of dynload modules only have to
support local compilation for developers.
