Not all the world is Debian based.  As I mentioned before, the package needed
is elfutils-devel on Redhat/Fedora systesm.  For those boxes, you're changing a
'elfutil-dev' that the user can guess is supposed to be -devel, to a package
that doesn't exist on Redhat/Fedora.  And to compound it, if the user guesses
that you meant libdwarf-devel, that still fails, because that does *not*
provide the libdw.h header - that's still in elfutil-devel.
