Errh, agree, but the idea was that it's somewhat correlated (or am I missing something!?), and if: 1. you trust the non-library package maintainers :-) 2. modify the 2nd alternative with "being *sure* to be able to run" then it's pretty much the same.
In other words: if the package has a dependency on a specific VM, that should mean that the maintainer has tested the application with the VM. Cogito ergo sum.
