no. this is not available.

We have no wildcard deps. Thing is that units can come and go
dynamically, hence implementing this would be difficult, as we'd have
to check all such wildcard dep holders whenever a new unit shows up
whether it might possibly match. And this would fall apart quickly, in
particular if you think about "positive" deps (like wants=/requires=)
instead of negative ones (i.e. Conflicts=).

Sorry,

Lennart
