Tag (sub)packages with what feature they provide -- e.g. MP3, DVD playback -- and also the package(s) for which they enable this functionality. Thus xine-lib-moles will have this: <functionality name="mp3" for="xine-lib" /> If xine-lib is installed on your computer, and you ask for MP3 support, it will install xine-lib-moles; if not, it won't. Likewise, if you have enabled MP3 support and then later install xine-lib, it should pull in xine-lib-moles as well. Thoughts? This could almost be fitted into Provides: / Requires:, but I don't think it actually can.
