Portage has a very similar syntax/way of specifying runtime vs. build-time dependencies: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/.

Apt doesn't have support for slots and USE flags (code that is included/excluded at compile time for optional features).


Agreed; use flags are very nice :) I find them a bit clunky / breakable, though -- it's very hard to know what the valid range of flags is, and how that will affect every package on your system. If Rust gets something similar, the exact circumstances under which they're used, the range valid values, and the effects of each, should be EXTREMELY clear.
