I am perfectly aware that libversion-perl is available only as a virtual package in unstable and testing. I deliberately chose to use those virtual packages in order to ease backporting to Debian stable. I was unaware that this practice was unfit for Debian. Please enlighten me as to where in Debian Policy it is forbidden to use virtual packages as source dependencies - or point me to that alternative(!) packaging policy you use for your judgements as ftpmasters. Oh, and those other cipux packages accepted recently does the same, so perhaps you should throw those out too. :-P - Jonas P.S.
