The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.

Without having python-is-python3 installed, on recent PureOS 10
(byzantium) with at least the d510mo target, we have the following
build failure:
$ ./build boot roms d510mo
[...]
Compiling (16bit) out/vgaentry.o
Compiling whole program out/vgaccode16.raw.s
Fixup VGA rom assembler
make: python: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:228: out/vgaccode16.o] Error 127
Without python-is-python3, the build also fails on recent
versions of Trisquel and Debian.
