Thanks, that sounds like exactly the right debian/control dependency magic. Will do, and upload.

Reasonable question.
The reason is that the graphical binary provides the functionality of
the textual binary *plus* a GUI-enabled option. There are no
circumstances in which installing both at the same time makes sense.
The main reason for generating the non-graphical is for boxes without X
etc installed, which is actually a pretty common use case for ettercap.
That said, I wouldn't particularly object to using alternatives to allow
co-installation just in case. Although I'd be inclined to provide the
functionality by instead using dpkg-divert in ettercap-graphical to move
the text-only version of /usr/bin/ettercap to
/usr/bin/ettercap-text-only, thus avoiding unnecessarily increasing the
footprint of ettercap-text-only.
