Hi Xavier,
I think it is better to let user explicitly choose what he want to install
or not.
For the story, I am a gentoo user, in gentoo you can choose what
you want to install from a package with the USE flag mechanism.
(for example a ncurse client will depend of notmuch but without emacs support,
another user will install the same notmuch package but with emacs support).
So the with/without options make the packaging very easy.
I think we can do autodetection if needed, but the user should be able to
override the automatic behavior.
