Hello, I don't think this is a problem for my specific module.
If augeas is not installed, you get a return message:
{'kermit': 'No module named augeas'}
(here on minion kermit).
I think it is better to handle this with module checks and error messages
than to force harsh dependencies for func.
Anyway I'm working on 2 other modules doing conf. management and using more
classical modules (re and ConfigParser), as an alternative.
