Hmm. I was ignoring your scenario because it's not possible to write an install condition like that. If that functionality is added, I would expect it to be authored as one package with one payload designated as the layout package and the other designated as the download package.
How about the scenario where you want to install .NET 4.0 on XP and .NET 4.5 on Vista and later? In this case, you would customize the theme by adding two controls, one for each license. Each control would be conditionally shown using the same conditions as the install conditions on the packages. You wouldn't use the new License attributes, and delete the built in license control in the theme. Does that work?
