Outch. I was searching the word "optional" in http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/prog/node46.html but found that "optional" was not a good key word, and my question is partially answered at the bottom of that page.
So, it is explained how to test whether a package is installed. But still my question remains: Should the dependencies be auto-installed (How, if yes?), or should the user be informed that he should please do it him/herself? Sorry for not properly reading the web page...
