Issues like ros/rosdistro#2100 suggest that it might be useful for rosdep to support OR logic such that it can be resolved by A OR B packages. Or to directly support virtual packages.

I'm not sure how to use apt exactly to do this.

Also adding this capability needs to be reviewed carefully to make sure that installations remain deterministically reliable.

This was fixed in #468. I have tried it with the linux-kernel-headers packages introduced in ros/rosdistro#15064

I'm reopening this since we have resolved the checking in #468 but from testing on ros/rosdistro#15308 we can't install virtual packages.

My bad, linux-kernel-headers seems to work because it has only one candidate.
