 * It looks to me like there's no problem adding RUN_DEPENDS.  I don't
 * think it will break the freedom of choice of apache flavour either.  

Well, the problem is that the mod_perl package will have a @pkgdep to
apache-1.3 and will try to install it even if the user has some other
apache installed....

 * must admit, I did think that you had to choose between one of the
 * *_DEPENDS for each dependency, but I can't remember why I thought that.

It probably doesn't make sense to have both LIB_DEPENDS and something
else, but BUILD_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS are quite different things.
