Does this mean that systemd should (accourding to the technical committee) have "Provides: system-log-daemon" as it can serve the purpose of that virtual package? > A) The Technical Committee affirms that it is reasonable for a package > to declare any suitable dependency upon the system-log-daemon virtual > package. How should this dependency look like? If systemd can fulfill the dependency, but cannot use "Provides: system-log-daemon" (see question above), should other packages use "Recommends: systemd | system-log- daemon"? I think it would be helpful to be explicit on these questions. Ansgar
