Its not clear to me what you mean.  Do you mean, build two erlang
binary packages, which Conflict: with each other, and which are the
same at the text-based level, but one additionally includes the gui
tk?  This seems like a less optimal solution than the previous one.
It unnecessarily duplicates the text-based components in two packages.

No.

"ocaml-nox" contains the text-based tools for ocaml and "ocaml" only contains the additionnal libraries which need X (and depends on ocaml-nox).

Cheers,

Sam.
