Good point !

What about "Breaks:" instead of "Recommends:" ?

Package A breaks Package B when both packages cannot be simultaneously configured in a system. The package management system will refuse to install one if the other one is already installed and configured in the system.

DDNS at runtime in Trusty. But this is presumably based on the
upstream-shipped build configuration. How difficult would it be to do by
patching the code?

Disabling the feature at runtime would definitely be a good alternative. I don't think it will be easily doable without doing some important modification in the src code as AFAIK we can't disable/enable a preprocessor option at runtime.

The C preprocessor modifies a source code file before handing it over to the compiler.
