Package: dpkg
Severity: wishlist


After looking at #72264 I think it would be a nice feature to have conditional
dependencies in dpkg. That means dependencies of the type "if package a
is installed, you must install package b". I don't know if it is possible to
implement but I think this would be a useful feature.
