Depends: gnome-office | openoffice.org, gnome-office | openoffice.org-gnome

is what you're looking for.

It only gets impossible when you have sets of packages on both sides
of the alternative. But those cases can be worked around with
intermediary meta-packages if really needed.

Such a syntax change would require lots of changes in many places, I
really think it's not worth the effort currently.

Thus I'm tagging this bug wontfix.
