This is disabled by default. It's only intended for backports/experimental use. But it's there as a configurable option for that type of situation. The $resolve_alternatives option filters the dependencies before creating the dependency package, so that apt/aptitude don't see the alternatives at all. They just get the first alternative. (Note: does not include alternatives for the same package, e.g. for different versions, which are explicitly allowed since 0.62.3. It also doesn't include arch-specific alternatives; the set is reduced to only the host arch in all cases.) Regards, Roger -- .''`.
