Best practices for meta packages with variants

Hi,
Hoping to get a little guidance from my peers. I'm trying to create a meta-package that can be selected and it will include all of the subordinate/dependent packages, but in this case one of the subordinate packages comes in two variants (IPv4-only or IPv4/v6):
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/20731
What's the best way to handle this? Are there any good examples already in the codebase of how to express this?
Specifically this part:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/20731/files#diff-00606439ee2b214f1dbac09d66df596b3cc63d3b98e49aab0fa05e0fa127250aR138
Should the meta package also have IPv4/IPv6 variants? That seems clumsy...
Thanks,
-Philip
