I understand. It is bothering to install dependencies, I agree - but it is one time job. I do it when setting up the build environment - it takes ages :/ I think your solution is good enough - perhaps you should check which dependencies are required and decide what to do, or you can script a workaround it usually fails with a line saying what are the missing dependencies. But I even doubt it is possible, because there are alternatives and how would some code know what to install?
