Description C. Wijtmans 2013-02-18 12:39:36 UTC 
We need a virtual/ssh-askpass package that manages the /usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass  link. Packages that use ssh-askpass should then depend on virtual/ssh-askpass. The default ssh-askpass should be x11-ssh-askpass.

Some ssh-askpass packages are

ksshaskpass
x11-ssh-askpass
gtk2-ssh-askpass

etc.

Comment 3 C. Wijtmans 2013-02-18 14:57:47 UTC 
should probably be '/usr/lib/ssh-askpass' instead of '/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass'

Yes, you want to create two new packages to set RDEPEND in yet another package, even when neither of those block any others so you wouldn't need eselect, and even when setting

|| ( cat/alt1 cat/alt2 ) in the original package would suffice.
