One way of solving this is to provide two packages, saxon and saxon811.
Each package can reference the other in its Conflicts field. However,
this means that packages depending on *any* version of Saxon must
specify "Depends: saxon | saxon811". Otherwise (if they only specify
"Depends: saxon"), installing a package requiring Saxon 8.1.1 would
force those packages to be removed.
Another way of solving this is to have packages that require Saxon 8.1.1
to specify "Depends: saxon (= 8.1.1)". However, this brings about other
problems. Namely, how can Fink's repository hold package descriptions
for both Saxon 8.1.1 and Saxon 8.whatever if they both have the same
name ("saxon")?
Why not make saxon81 and saxon82, and have them both Provide: saxon
Then, things that don't care what type of saxon they get depend on saxon
(unversioned), and those that do, depend on saxon81 or saxon82...
