Package: blends-dev Version: 0.6.92.2 Severity: wishlist I use blends-dev to create local metapackages. I sometimes use the common real-package | virtual-package pattern to specify a default but allow alternatives. However, blends-dev removes the virtual-package alternatives since they do not exist. It would be great if one could pass an option or something to allow nonexistent packages in Depends lines.
