This problem has the two obvious solutions: either install a-2 and then b-2 or
the other
way around. But to be relevant to the current discussion you need to specify
whether or
not there are any pkg_{pre,post}inst functions. If there are too many then it
becomes
unsolvable and is probably a bug, as I already explained:

Labels seems to be another syntax for providing the same information as I
proposed AIUI,
i.e. finer-grained deps.
