i think it's gentler to look at this in the context of c's "hello world" program. the first version was missing both #include and void. then it got #include. then it got void. i recall void issues with code from k&r v1 on my compiler in the mid 80s (i do not predate include statements). i recall a brian kernighan talk where he comments on precisely this point as well. for me it's not so much "it's easy just do it" but rather "it's fairly easy and worth it for the clarity."
yes i know those are code changes while this is the build process -- this is about quantum of effort required. having said that: something to help with missing modules in dependencies would be helpful as that is significantly harder. i was able to adjust c even as a novice. a casual/beginner today is likely not able to fork-and-update a dependency.
