There is no such "default" drivers. It is pretty different for each user.

Structures_DataGrid couples many PEAR packages with each other. Every renderer
has its own dependencies, so that a "default" installation would install a dozen
of additionnal packages.

We have had endless discussions about this, until we came to the conclusion that
it's better to install no driver.

So IMO, if the pear installer could let us write some small custom warnings to
the console output, that would be better.

That's the sort of thing that is very well supported by dpkg (Debian package
manager). Not only warnings, but specific questions, etc...

As a start, the following would be great :
<package>
...
<warning> You must install Foo if you need Bar </warning>
<notes> ... </notes>
...
</package>
