1) the first clause can be simplified as you said below, ok.
2&3) the second... should be "|" read as XOR (exclusive or)?
there is no meaning in the order of the operands of "|", right?
if what i said is correct then second and third cluses are ok.
4) the fourth clause has sense only if "|" has a XOR meaning.
please correct me if i'm not right

in fact there are no versions in between

this doesn't work, since curl(=7.4.2-2) depends on libcurl0 | libcurl0-ssl
while curl(>=7.5-1) depends on libcurl1 | libcurl1-ssl and i need to force
the install of the ssl versions of the libcurl libraries in order to make
curl understanding something about SSL.
