Indeed, Britney does not support those annotations (at the moment?). To
avoid issues with this kind of thing, we made her consider such
dependencies for unsatisfiable[1].
So for now anything using that form in Depends or Pre-Depends will not
reach testing (without manual intervention from the Release team and I
am not sure how likely "we" are to do that).
