Seeing as you can remove said code via apt, you'd likely win them over compared to the alternative of being told to install compilers or some other non package managed software bundler like cpan/rvm/npm that can't be canned and easily deployed.

But why would you remove it? Because whatever you've installed has broken.

Much better not to be broken in the first place.

It seems you live in an idyllic world far, far away from reality.
