> I've tested it most recently bzr trunk revision 115470. All the ways to

Looks good, just one nitpick:

> ;; Package-Requires: foo
> ;; Package-Requires: (foo bar)
> ;; Package-Requires: (foo (baz "1.1.0") bar)
> ;; Package-Requires: (baz "1.1.0")

Please don't support the first form nor the last form, since it
otherwise gives the impression that

   ;; Package-Requires: foo bar baz
or
   ;; Package-Requires: (foo "0.1") (bar "2.0")

will also work and we don't want to go that way.
