Stefan,
The answer is that dashes are preferred, but we recognized that this has
been ambiguous for a long time, so the code permits both "/" and "-".
This bug (unresolved dependencies if they are specified with a "-") was
addressed in PUP-3121 as you mentioned, but the fix version for that ticket
is Puppet 4.0, so Puppet 3.8 does not have the fix. Unfortunately, because
of that bug, dependencies with a "-" are always expressed as missing in
Puppet 3.6-3.8.
Hope that clears up the situation.
