In this particular case, it actually can be useful, since it's a web
application to be run in a web browser, which will need support for the
particular language. Naturally, the same can be guessed from the package
dependencies, but especially if it were something more exotic than PHP,
the information is not as useless as when it is given for a compiled
program used directly by the users.
