The package management system should take care of this task. Installing software works differently on different systems and each installation typically has hundreds of different packages. It is not practically possible, neither desirable, that every software package, such as Widelands, duplicates the functionality of the package management systems of each system that it runs on. Note that software is usually installed system-wide, which requires system administrator privileges, while application programs such as Widelands should run with user privileges, so they can not and should not be able to install any software (system-wide).
