It's not usually the absence of Python that's the problem. What if
your application uses various extension modules which in turn rely on
various libraries (of the .so or .a kind)? It may be more convenient
to bundle all these libraries instead of working out the package
dependencies for all the target distributions, even if you know them
all.
