Hi, if they are really only runtime dependencies, a README.packagers that 
clearly states such dependencies is the better way to go.
The rationale behind this is that for packages the build-process is usually 
decoupled from running applications (at least for binary distributions). The 
building is done on different systems than those the compiled software will be 
executed. So, a CMake check would be misleading, since such dependencies are 
not needed for building. Moreover they have to be specifically setup as 
runtime-dependencies to be automatically installed for the users.
