Comment(by walter):

 I haven't been following the packaging discussion all that closely--I will
 now that I have been bit :)

 I am guessing that having several prebuilt packages around has got to be
 part of our future, unfortunately. Also to consider would be a separate
 extras bundle of common dependencies that many activities might require
 but are not always available preinstalled. Activity authors can lobby for
 inclusion of their favorite dependencies.

 As far as the specifics of Turtle Art, in order to grab audio data
 (general case) and DC voltages (OLPC-specific case) we need to make sure
 that alsa is configured properly. Alsa libraries were (at least at the
 time this work was originally done) not part of the routine OLPC build,
 hence the binary was included. Love to figure out a way to not include it.
