Another case: sometimes multiple packages in the official repo may deliver the same thing: see jre8-openjdk and jre7-openjdk

Those packages provide java-runtime and java-runtime-openjdk, but you could install both packages and if a package needs a special version of java-runtime and java-runtime-openjdk, it depends either on the package jre8-openjdk or jre7-openjdk. This is something completely different.
