Debian can have alternate requirements. (Eg, mimedefang can depend on one of libfoo-perl or libquux-perl). You can simulate it in RPM with Provides/Requires, but it takes more planning. You'd need to make MIMEDefang Require a generic perl-syslog-module, and have Sys::Syslog and Unix::Syslog Provide perl-syslog-module. Arguably, that's the correct way to go, given that Sys::Syslog and Unix::Syslog provide the same facility.
