But you have contributors who could do this ;-) There could be a
section "Dependencies" on the page of each plugin (e.g.
https://claws-mail.org/plugin.php?plugin=python) where the dependencies
for different distros are listed.
I know that there are many distros but such information would be
helpful. Sometimes it's easy to find the package that is missing for
the build but other times it's harder to find the right packages.
