We will have stardict-{gnome,gtk} and a console version of stardict in
debian, and all of them can be able to read stardict-dictionary. The
debian developer Anthony Wong told me, amybe we should create a virtual
package called stardict and then make stardict-{gnome,gtk} and the
console version of stardict 'Provides' stardict. I don't know if there
is a proper way for this situation?

If so, 'Recommends' should be enought or only 'Depends' on stardict in a
splited binary package.

True, if they want to compile stardict themselves.
