hmm I think I don't understand something then. I thought it was like defining a pom.xml but using the Debian DEB dependency syntax. Thus I thought that you'd have to explicitly put a dependency on MySQL or Tomcat inside the file where you define the dependencies. Isn't that so? Is it possible to define several dependencies (like PostGreSQL and MySQL) in the same file and then have the user choose which one to install when resolving the file at runtime? In any case I think it means we're going to support only some dependencies and not all that exist and thus we should document somewhere which one we support. Maybe I misunderstood something?
