Lintian::Relation is functioning correctly.  A dependency on ant | ant1.7
does not satisfy a requirement for ant, since the ant1.7 branch could be
taken.  (This is more obvious if you consider that from Lintian's
perspective the dependency could be ant | make, which wouldn't guarantee
that a binary named ant is available.)

The correct fix is to make Lintian aware of the full set of options that
could provide the required binary.
