In this case, I think we could work around it like this:

%ependencies.out: %ependencies.config

Thus the "d" is just part of the variant prefix of the instances;
it just so happens that all such prefixes end in a "d".

Hey, this is no worse than calling a GNU library "iberty" so that
it can be linked with -liberty on the compiler command line. :)
