Or more generally, we need a way to express this (and similar) dependencies in
the package format.  I had a bit of a fossick around and AFAICT a package can
depend on other ports/packages, but not on optional parts of the "base" system.

Hmm, how do packages deal with dependencies on X?  Or is this the same problem 
again?

Is this even worth solving while we wait for Jordan's mythical all-singing
all-dancing module system?
