As far as I remember boolean algebra, (a and b and c) or (d and e) is
equivalent to (a or d) and (a or e) and (b or d) and (b or e) and (c or
d) and (c or e). Than makes awfull dependencies, but it should work...
(And no need to duplicate the package.)

Wow... It would really be nice to enhance the syntax for dependencies...


Cheers,
