An existing example would be emacs. There is a package that depends on X and one that does not. A preferable future example would be a daemon package that depends on systemd and one that does not. In order to do that though, you have to account for all the standing binary dependencies in the chain of installation, which is something that the people pushing systend in Debian do not want to do, but SHOULD do.
