Of course, one possible solution is for both A and B to depend on a "virtual package" that contains C, such that both A and B can install it if it's not there, and list it in their dependencies. No need. Is this is what you want? http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-diversions.html

I've not-so-recently advocated actually building .debs/.rpm/.whatever instead of reinventing wheels in .eggs. Maybe that would be an worthwhile discussion.
