Is this feature under development? It would be great to be able to specify
dependencies like the following (note the parentheses):
Depends: ( ( ( apache | apache-ssl | apache-perl, libapache-mod-php4 )
| ( apache2, libapache2-mod-php4 ),
php4-mysql | php4-pgsql )
| ( ( apache | apache-ssl | apache-perl, libapache-mod-php5 )
| ( apache2, libapache2-mod-php5 ),
php5-mysql | php5-pgsql ) )
All my problems would then be solved!
