I hope someone already started working on such a thing. I'll be very happy to add it to GNU ELPA. That would be handy for things like packages that use an "emacs module", such as emacs-tree-sitter, but also for things like pdf-tools or ada-mode which come with their own external program (not written in Elisp), for the native compiler, and it could go further (e.g. the `ag` package could install the `ag` executable, the `diff` command could request installation of a `diff` executable, ...). Yes, it would be *very* useful, Stefan
