Alternatives in package_lists?

[Steffen Grunewald]

Hello,

I couldn't find an answer to the question, and no matching example:

Is it possible to specify "a | b" in a package_config file, so that "a"
gets installed if available, and "b" otherwise?

Just listing "a b" will give bad results if both packages are available
- and in this specific case, there is no "conflict" between them - 
depending on the repositories involved.
Of course I could try this myself... :/

Thanks, S
