In this case, I think disjunctive dependencies (default | virtual), as
Matthew Garrett pointed out, are the right solution, not soft dependencies
(though those would also be nice).

and a disjunctive dependency? How can you satisfy a soft dependency if
you don't know what virtual dependency it is being used to provide?
