I think the standard recommendation is to use a requires like this with
"=", not ">=", to bind together different subpackages. It's almost
never a good idea to let non-matching subpackages be installed together
... unless you would like to take on the burden of testing all such
combinations to see if they work.
There is a packaging guideline about this IIRC. Have you read
