Well there are nine packages (and probably there can be others) which needs
eject, and the eject commands are going to be quite a few if there isn't an
"universal" eject as every os has its own way to eject a CD-Rom.
So we'll have eject for linux, eject-bsd for freebsd (and maybe openbsd, don't
know), eject-osx (and maybe eject-darwin) and eventual eject-solaris if there
will ever be a solaris port.
Every kernel has its own syscalls, and using conditional deps for every kernel
on more than a couple of packages will surely be something annoying for
maintainers.
