I don't think listing the package in both fields would do anything
technical that would help with this issue.

I'm happy with the current situation. The expression is correct: to be
able to use ttytter in a meaningful way, both curl and lynx are
possibilities. cURL is definitely preferred for full functionality,
therefore it's listed first. Debian's tools will always pick the first
available alternative and it's generally understood that the dependencies
are listed in order of preference.


Cheers,
Thijs
