Is this a Debian package? If so, you can't have a situation where it will
be linked against either lesstif or motif depending on what's installed.
It must choose one or provide two copies of itself, one for each library.
If it chooses one, then you should declare a build-depends on it, otherwise
you need to build-depend on both.
I don't think a virtual package is satisfactory in either situation.
