I am staring at the britney2 code at https://salsa.debian.org/release-team/britney2/blob/master/britney2/installability/builder.py#L77 and it seems there is code available to do this correctly, except it only does that for cases where there is no alternative (len(block) == 1). I'll try to generate a test case in the test suite for this. Out of curiosity: I couldn't spot the virtualbox-5.2 package in the archive, what are you trying to achieve with having that as alternative? Is that to support upstream binaries or something like that? Paul
