If by 'optional dependencies' you mean assuming a feature provided by a 
package on which the dependency is not declared as absolute, there are 
certainly solutions; declare the dependency as absolute or stop assuming 
the feature's presence.

Note that the absence of a solution for a bug, even if it would be real, 
would not solve the bug.
