Because the dependency spec framing we established doesn't describe
multiple dependencies in one string (and we chose to write one that
can be embedded in different higher layer things specifically to allow
wider reuse) - we could define a wrapper here, or, since we have a
structured config file, use that structure. It read a bit nicer in
YAML, but see JSON under rationale.
