Well, packages that don't need it can use either of course and having to define an "|" in that case is somewhat annoying. And you'd have to specify the "|" as otherwise you could conflict with other packages that do depend on the xdm variant. Packages that _do_ need it would of course have to explicitly depend on the variant with xdm support. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
