I'd imagine most systems that use this also use Git and that requires Perl, and I'm not aware of any GNU/Linux distro that doens't come with Perl (5, of course) pre-installed. While we're speaking of Perl, I just want to say how amazing Perl 6 is, especially compared to Perl 5, in every regard - from syntax to arrays/lists to the quality of the (admittedly small range of) libraries.

+1 for Perl 6 shout out. Also there are increasingly nice things for use with Postgres like https://github.com/CurtTilmes/perl6-dbpg with https://github.com/FCO/Red

Perl and python are part of LSB.
