I guess I could do this, but I don't feel comfortable about it with the
many other distro families we supposedly support. :/ We don't have such
CI, and build-testing manually is horribly inefficient (cue the
situation with GTK3 -- I've not built p2v with GTK3 thus far even on
Fedora). Debian at least has a package directory on the web, but I've
always had trouble with the other non-Fedora-like distros. (And even
regarding Debian, I don't know what major release we aim at.)

Honestly it doesn't feel like we're making a strong promise in
"dependencies.m4" to these other distros, given that we almost never
build or test on those distros. On the other hand it seriously
complicates things for development.
