So about installing Emacs (the latest version), maybe have a list off packages the user needs for it, at least the packages that aren't usually installed by default, on the "Download" page?

e.g.:
To install Emacs from source, make sure you have the following packages installed:
build-essential texinfo libx11-dev libxpm-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev libgtk2.0-dev libncurses-dev libxpm-dev automake autoconf
Then simply "./configure" "make" "make install"

Although, I'm not sure, many package names are different by other GNU/Linux distributions.

PS If these technologies take off, this perhaps feels like something
that should be addressed at the GNU level rather than the Emacs level.
(Perhaps guix already provides some version of this?)
