Comment (by kencu):

 Oh, I see what you're saying .. a path dep should mean you could uninstall
 one and install the other and all would be hunky-dory without rebuilding
 anything...not that either could satisfy the need.

 Yeah, by that standard, a path dep will never work -- actually would
 probably quite rarely work for anything, come to think of it.

 I took the more liberal view of it, meaning one or the other could be
 installed.

 Perhaps that more liberal view of a path dep is more in keeping with  what
 people actually want.... for example, webkit2-gtk and webkit2-gtk-devel
 share a path dep, but are not definitely binary compatible --- but it is
 likely that software could build against one or the other (actually, even
 that is not particularly guaranteed, but ... ).
