You could define a package "fuse" with no contents and a dependency on package "winfsp-fuse". Then later when/if another FUSE implementation becomes available, "somebody" could replace the "fuse" package with whatever is required to get alternatives support for the variants. I'm wondering if "fuse-xxxx" is a better name template than "xxxx-fuse" in order to keep the variants near each other in setup.exe's displays. ..mark
