Ah, right, I see what's going on. dpkg only supports versioned dependencies on real packages, not virtual packages declared with Provides. So, what we will need is: Depends: ..., python-imaging (>= 1.1.7), python2.5-imaging, ... thus enforcing the version against the real package, whilst also enforcing that it provide for the specific python version we care about. Max.
