Right now we have approximately seven zillion combinatorial explosions
of QA, so one more on the pile is not going to make much of an
appreciable difference...though it could spell all kinds of fun for
image composes, I suspect.

Still, I don't see how that's really worth doing instead of just using a
virtual provide. The OP's reasoning for not using a virtual provide
sounded rather specious to me. The two things are functionally
equivalent so far as I can see. Just different syntax.


I'll get more specific then:

python-pyface can use two different graphics backends - either wxPython or pyQt4. In no way do these two packages provide the same thing in any meaningful way other than to pyface. So, while one could go the provides route, it doesn't seem to make sense to me. I suppose I could ask for:

Provides: pyface-backend

in both PyQt4 and wxPython.  Think that would make sense?
