Which one of [O] and [E] is [X]? ;)

The problem is that the Depends line for netcfg-dhcp looks like this:

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, cdebconf-udeb, dhcp-client-udeb | pump-udeb

and anna doesn't handle parallel choices. netcfg is undergoing changes
right now, but I think this could be fixed by depending on a virtual
package that e.g. pump-udeb provides.
