I think it will be required when building with the android sdk, but I still haven't tried running flutter yet, so I've no idea. However, during the "code polishing" I'll verify again that no binaries are in the repo! (At first I tried using their tar.gz release, but they included a full debian distribution (1.1Gb of gzipped data, 45Mb of code)). The repo is quite clean (with the downside that I have to specify all compiler dart dependencies by hand. I'll send a tentative patch series during the week, hopefully. Thanks!
