Hmm do it resolve the jars that theese packages provide?
It might be better to depend on jars instead of debian packages. Just a thought.
I also do not really think that this should be configuration files, or?
If it should resolve the jars in the packages we have to change policy
so a package only provide one variant of a jar (non conflicting with each other).
I can think of a few such cases.

It would be really nice if it first resolves all the dependencies, then
the recommendations, and then finally suggestions.
I'm starting to like your idea. It will solve a lot of issues, I think.
