Do you mean something like "good (>= x.y) | bad (<< x.y), ugly (>= x.y) | bad
(<< x.y)"

That way your package will depend on both good and ugly >= some_version, or bad
<< some version, so you always get the codec you want.

I agree this way isn't ideal for maintainers though. Perhaps good/bad/ugly could
provide a virtual package named like the codec, but that might be overkilling.
