I have on two occasions in a short period of time run into systems where the pciutils check fails, while both packages are in fact installed. In one case, no compiler was installed. The other case has not been resolved yet, but the fact is that the check is not precise enough.
It is very precise. It does not check for a compiler, because having a compiler installed for compiling is obvious. Having those additional packages installed is less obvious.
It is also a waste of time to do the check on every single make invocation.
I disagree with removing this. We started including it because we had so many people not reading the readme and complaining about failed compilation.
NACK.
