libcupt2-0 declares that it Recommends

	libcupt2-0-downloadmethod-curl | libcupt2-0-downloadmethod-wget

Presumably this is not a Depends because it is also possible to write
your own download handler.  Eugene, do you think it would make sense
to have a libcupt2-0-downloadmethod virtual package so this could say

	Depends: libcupt2-0-downloadmethod-curl | libcupt2-0-downloadmethod

?

Thanks for writing,
Jonathan
