#16557: No informations about needed program/game data in hpkg packages

 I start a discussion 4 years ago about package dependencies, things like
 minimum screen resolution, ram limitit... again i come to the meaning that
 we need a extra text part for information about dependencies.

 Example: i install a game that need the original game data to run, because
 it is only the haiku specific game starter.  I indtall the game (no
 specification are included the description) and can deinstall it because
 of lack of this information.

 It is only a example,  but i think it is important to inform a user, not a
 programmer or old bunny in Linux or other systems about that is need to
 run the program 'before' installing it.
