If it doesn't care about what the tftp server is, presumably that means
that the package itself doesn't actually use the tftp server (and if
it did call the tftp server, it would need to know the syntax for each
individual package, so it wouldn't be a virtual). So why would it be a
DEPEND?

Since suggested dependencies don't exist yet, what's wrong with just
elogging a message suggesting the user install a tftp server of their
choice?
