In general the approach is we want 'pkg install module-foo' to make module (or extension)-foo "Just Work" without requiring the user to jump through more hoops, at least for some level of basic functionality. (There may always be some exceptions if there are drawbacks in some particular case which overwhelm the benefit of the Just-Work-ingness, but as a general rule of thumb.) The assumption is that if a user goes to the trouble of installing a given optional package, it is because they want to use it, so it should just work. (Of course, this only works for packages which are indeed optional and won't get installed unless the user specifically takes the action of installing them. ) -- Jyri J.
