Alternative Depends use the following format:

Depends: lablgl-x11 | lablgl

The order is important in that Fink will ask you which one you wish to 
install (assuming neither is currently installed already) in the order 
listed in the .info, and since most people will just choose 1 (the 
default), it is wise to put the more useful alternative (according to 
the maintainer) first in the list (but it is not a requirement).  The 
.deb encodes both alternatives into its control file, and once a pkg 
with this list is installed, it should be possible to switch back and 
forth between the two alternates without the Dependee pkg (lablgtk2 in 
this case) complaining.
