Missing dependencies?

When I tried to run Tor Browser in a clean virtual machine, I got these errors:

$ ~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/start-tor-browser --verbose
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/andreymal/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/libmozgtk.so:
libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/andreymal/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/libxul.so:
libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Can be fixed by installing gtk3 and alsa-lib respectively.

I don't know if this can be considered as a torbrowser-launcher bug, since both are dependencies of Tor Browser, not torbrowser-launcher itself. But anyway, maybe it's a good idea to add these packages to (at least optional) dependencies for better user experience?
