If API compatibility is guaranteed, a virtual makes more sense than a useflag. However, even with this assumption, it's not possible these days, because we need to: - Fix || ( a:= b:= ) deps handling in package managers (hey dynamic deps :) ) - Create transitive := deps (useful for other things than virtuals, hey ocaml & haskell). So yeah, because of lack of better solution this seems to be the best method so far.
