I would also add that durring my testing of xdirectfb I found I also had
to use:
sed -i 's/:xfree86(X11-LIBS):/:xdirectfb:/' /var/state/sorcery/depends
sed -i 's/:xfree86(X11-SERVER):/:xdirectfb:/' /var/state/sorcery/depends

I don't know if other spells with multipule providers have instances
like this but seems like a function in sorcery to quickly convert the
depends table to a new PROVIDER would be nice.
