The important thing to remember is that whether or not the runtimes are
preinstalled on the end user's machine is totally irrelvant in the
GNU/Linux world. All that matters is whether they are available via the
package manager for their distribution. In our case, apt should take
care of all of this provided the package maintainer remembered to
specify that this and that is necessary to install it.
