That's what I'll do.

adding this.)

However there's the problem left that Recommends: is not supported by 
other distributions (according to some failed build logs ;-)
I'm afraid those will get packages without proper dependencies, to avoid 
that unused packages have to be installed.

@darix: Yes, technically subpackages are the best solution. But creating 
them just to have "or" dependencies is not worth it IMHO.

Is there a feature request open to allow "Requires: foo OR bar"?
