Hey mentors I have a question concerning one of my packages (fookebox). It currently depends on "libapache2-mod-wsgi | httpd-wsgi" since it's a web application that is typically called through WSGI. As requested in #667838, I now added the configuration files required to get it to run through FastCGI with python-flup. However, I am not entirely sure how to change my dependencies to indicate that this is a possibility.
As I see it, one option would be to say that the package depends on either (libapache2-mod-wsgi | httpd-wsgi) or (libapache2-mod-fastcgi and python-flup). Yet a) I couldn't figure out the syntax to specify such a dependency and b) it would ignore the possibility of running FastCGI through anything other than libapache2-mod-fastcgi (there doesn't seem to be a virtual httpd-fastcgi package). Thus I figured the best way to do this is to change the current dependency into a recommendation (which would allow experienced admins to ignore it while still resulting in a working installation for people who don't care) and add libapache2-mod-fastcgi and python-flup as suggestions to indicate that they are supported and tested mechanisms. Or I could just leave that out and add a note about this possibility to README.Debian. So, before I start messing around, I was hoping that somebody might have some input on this.
