I think that they should be included.  Bazaar continues to talk about 
how it is version control that Just Works and having to install 
dependencies like this greatly reduces the "Just Works" factor.  I think 
that the only reasons for not including dependencies are in cases such 
as Qt/PyQt where the technical difficulties and size of the download are 
limiting factors.
