That just shouldn't happen - such packages are supposed to be
dependency-complete within
the packaging universe in question.
Yep, that's the preferable ideal world.
Which doesn't happen (but that's not the fault of anyone
around here, no harm intended).
.From all the posts I gather the answer to my question is
"simply": unpackaged-but-needed modules need to be packaged.
I think there is one aspect that isn't getting consideration here. And
that is whether or not you want these packages installed in the default
system Python install. You might not. Maybe you want to get the latest
possible version of super-dooper-gui-helper, but one of its dependencies
doesn't play well with the system Python libraries. Or ... but you get
the point. There are probably many cases where you want *not* to
install into the system Python world. So you would need to come up with
an APT-based installer that doesn't do that.
Obviously it's not unthinkable; it is just one more thing to figure out.
