Best way to depend on an xserver but conflict with XF86 v4 ?

I have a package (utah-glx) which needs can be used only on a XF86 3.3.6 server. How can I express this ? Depends: xserver(<<4.0) does not work since xserver is a virtual package. I found: Depends: xserver Conflicts: xfree86-common(<=4.0) to be working. Is it the right way (or a good en
