Assuming that the virtual package 'sunwlxsl' doesn't have conflicting meanings on different architectures, I see no reason not to provide the virtual package on all architectures. Non-OpenSolaris derived architectures may ignore the virtual package entirely, but that isn't harming anything. I'm a bit confused about why you need to Provide a crazy sun package name, though -- are you intending for the Debian packaging system to integrate with the "native" packaging system somehow, and the two to cooperate? - Matt
