How about:

   Requires: packageName
   Requires: anotherPackage >= 1.45

PEP241 is RFC-822, which can handle multiple entries.  I would think the
above would work.  This is what RPM does.  They also have a "BuildPreReq",
which is required for building packages and is different than just the
dependencies required to install package.
