[arch-general] alternate dependencies?

[Neil Darlow]

Hi,

Seeing the earlier post re. tetex and texlive perhaps there is a case 
for extending pacman to support alternate dependencies.

By this I mean a package could depend on one of a choice of packages. 
The syntax could be something like:

depends=( tetex|texlive )

where the individual dependencies retain their current features e.g. 
versions etc.

Opinions welcomed.

Regards,
