>Description:
Packages.txt explains how to use DEPENDS+=, but doesn't explain how to
depend on either or two packages.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to get mklivecd to use cdrtools-ossdvd if installed rather than
forcing cdrecord, read Packages.txt before posting, and get told the
answer in email.

+If your package needs a program or library which might be installed by
+several packages, use {pkg1,pkg2} in the depends line to express an "OR"

 Please note that such dependencies should only be updated if a package requires
 a newer pre-requisite, but not to denote recommendations such as security
 updates or ABI changes that do not prevent a package from building correctly.

Responsible-Changed-Why:
Roland handles most of the Guide. I'm not sure whether we actually want to
document it though (and the wildcard should be in the alternative, IMO).
