Package: webmin-postfix
Enhances: postfix | postfix-tls
Package: webmin-reportbug
Enhances: reportbug (>> 1.99.0)
Of course, then you have to deal with the "chicken-and-egg" debate
about whether we should have Enhances fields in control files before
dselect/aptitude/whatever supports it or not. (Of course, testing
whether dselect handles Enhances correctly once it implements it would
probably be easier when there are actual instances of Enhances in
/var/lib/dpkg/available, but that's probably just me being silly ;-)
