I think Graeme's solution should solve this.

These need versioned DEPENDS eg. DEPENDS = "gtk+ (>= 2.10.0)". Could
someone try and see if it breaks anything with the current bitbake? I'd
like to see the metadata starting to contain this data, even if bitbake
itself doesn't use it yet so when we do implement it, it should all just
work...

Cheers,
