If I am correct not every module is necessary for every installation. In 
fact if I remember well, the PHP Curl extension is not needed for a 
basic owncloud installation, but the bookmarks application uses it.

By the way, I found out about that in the admin menu. After activating 
the "dependency status" application, on the main amin screen you can 
find which modules are needed and which application is using them. I had 
the curl one in red, saying that bookmarks needed it.

So I gess it's ok to check dependencies on every app 
installation/activation.
