Yes, if could be if it's likely to be useful on more places, or it could 
be the default. Or it could e.g. be

herokuToolbelt = callPackage path {
	ruby = ruby.override { cursesSupport = true; };
}


As for why it isn't default -- I suppose it wasn't needed up to now. I 
think it's often just a tool useful when building other packages. For 
example we have by default a different bash for building (no readline 
etc.) and different for interactive usage.
