Maybe they're kind of the same: Package: foo Recommends: foo-l10n-de[language-de] Package: libQtGui Depends: libQtWayland[gui-thingie-wayland], libQtX11[gui-thingie-x11] Package: php Depends: php-apache2-glue[apache2-is-installed], php-nginx-glue[nginx-is-installed] But I think this is kind of just dreaming at this point. /Sune
