This is very specific to `jq` command. What's special with `jq` and not
others? If methods have to be shown, they should be shown for all the
programs which are not installed.

Further, this limits the information to specific package managers and
systems in the userspace. Tomorrow a new system may come, which will
cause this list to grow, not to mention other existing package managers.
The kernel also doesn't have a role in it, so we should try to be generic
as much as possible.

Thanks,
Siddh
