I'd like to add some new fields in the near future: "RuntimeDepends"
-> "BuildDepends" is for build time dependencies. "Depends" also covers those, but is also a "runtime" dependency, i.e. is checked by dpkg. We currently have no way to specify something that has to be present when the package is installed, but not while it is being built. This new field (name subject to be changed if you have a better idea) would allow for this, which could be used to solve a set of smaller dep issues we had in the past "RuntimeConflicts" "BuildConflicts" -> see above. "RuntimeConflicts" will only be needed once we implement "BuildConflicts", which in turn needs a revides depenendency engine... Right now "Conflcits" is essentially "runtime only". Comments? Problems with those? Other similiar fields that might be needed in your opinion?
