No, but maybe it should 'suggest' it. No wait. Other arch may have other
raw assemblers they need. virtual package 'kern-assembler' provided by...
(list of the various) and 'required'. That'd do it.
Something that -doesn't- fit the system as smoothly, that I've found a bit
frustrating: if you tell it to fetch a package from source and build
locally, but you don't have a full build environment, it gets to (wherever
it fails in the code) instead of complaining upfront. (guess who forgot
to install bison. d'oh!) I'm not even sure that's a bug but it's a pain.
