Well, I'll seriously consider it if somebody gives me a precise, tested list
of packages.  However, I don't have much enthusiasm for the idea, as it
would be one more bit of information that would need to be kept up to date.
Translation: I'll have one more bit of information to keep up to date, as I
haven't been swamped with volunteers to keep the documentation up to date.

On a side note, such a list of packages wouldn't have helped in this
situation because the user didn't read our documentation anyway...  Just
something to think about...
