An example of a spell that has multiple dependencies based on a query  
is kdesdk.

# gaze CONFIGURE kdesdk
source  $SECTION_DIRECTORY/KDE_CONFIGURE  &&

if  provider_ok  APU          &&
    spell_ok     subversion;  then
  config_query  KDESDK_SUBVERSION  'Build Subversion SCM support?'  y
else
  config_query  KDESDK_SUBVERSION  'Build Subversion SCM support?'  n
fi

# gaze DEPENDS kdesdk
depends  kdebase  &&
depends  perl     &&

source  $SECTION_DIRECTORY/KDE_DEPENDS  &&
<snip>...
if  [  "$KDESDK_SUBVERSION"  ==  "y"  ];  then
  depends  APU         &&
  depends  subversion
fi

I found this as I did `dispel --user-deps apr-util0` and it wanted to  
dispel kdesdk since APU is a hard-dependency, rather than recast  
kdesdk without subversion support.
