Seriously, just the other day I had to install package A from source but first I had to install repo B to download it and install language X to install it as that was what the build script used. The guys who I manage are probably sick of me threatening to write something exactly like juju.
I'm going to investigate juju further but if juju can determine the path of least build dependencies that would also be great i.e. if there are two build scripts, one bash and the other language X, it chooses bash as you do not have language X installed.
It would also help if each project offered a link to a tar of their latest stable version so wget could be used instead of repo B.
I like using the systems tools first before installing other tools.
