You could define a package "fuse" with no contents and a dependency on 
package "winfsp-fuse".  Then later when/if another FUSE implementation 
becomes available, "somebody" could replace the "fuse" package with 
whatever is required to get alternatives support for the variants.

I'm wondering if "fuse-xxxx" is a better name template than "xxxx-fuse" in 
order to keep the variants near each other in setup.exe's displays.
