Whether they are installed automatically or later through anna is not relevant
to the root problem.

This is required to be automatically triggered by disk-detect to solve
the "virtual dependency".  Apart from the package dependency, the
installer uses this dependency to define required pre-reqs in the
installation workflow.  That means, disk-detect provides harddrive-
detection to detect disks for partitioning.  The virtual dependency for
s390-dasd, s390-zfcp provides dasd and zfcp disk detection.  If both
provide harddrive-detection, one is actually sufficient to proceed the
installation.  In the worst case, a user can only configure DASDs, but
not zfcp.

I had to change this to any because of some build errors caused by the
s390x-specific dependencies.

I think that this influences just how they appear in the list of
installer menu (apart from the waypoints of the base-installer).
