Thanks for the pointer, I reverted postgis to optional. > I like the idea of providing a virtual postgis package for others to > depend on.

I see use for both, with or without the Postgres version. TinyOWS doesn't need the pg major version, while pgRouting looks like it itself is an extension and thus Postgres-(major-)version specific. With a dependency on postgis-extension => 1.5 and postgresql-9.3, you'd still not cover all cases, because postgresql-9.2-postgis-2.1 would satisfy the former, but postgresql-9.3 alone doesn't give you the extension. Of course, postgis could also provide both variants, i.e. postgis-extension as well as postgresql-9.3-postgis-extension. My gut feeling is that's overkill, though. Regards Markus Wanner
