It is platform specific, so, if this is to be explained somewhere this
is not someting I, (or, I believe Karl) can do.
There is already this in the tp README for a platform we know about:
On Debian-based distros, Test::More is part of perl-modules and thus
installed with perl, the packages corresponding to the other modules
are named:
libdata-compare-perl libtest-deep-perl
On other platforms, user familiar with those platforms should propose
something, but we cannot do that ourselves.

I think that we should only bundle modules that are needed for run time
not for build time/tests.
