I tend to ensure that all packages that are available are installed so
this wouldn't be a problem for me.  

However, I think that keeping the number of dependencies down is
advantageous so I would vote for having a very generic default template
for latex but with a good example of what is possible in the
documentation (e.g. the particular template definition proposed by
Sébastien).
