Hi all,

I’m currently thinking about creating a virtual package for "fizmo". This
was a single package in squeeze, got split up into "fizmo-ncursesw" and
"fizmo-console" in wheezy, keeping a transitional "fizmo" package in
oldlibs (which pulled in fizmo-ncursesw so far). "fizmo-sdl" is still in
beta but might be released this year.

I'd like to drop the transitional "fizmo" package for the jessie release
and provide a virtual package of the same name instead (this will give
people trying to install fizmo give at least a clue why the package
apparently isn't there anymore and the alternatives system looks like a
good way for managing a link to the installed binary).

Section 3.6 of the policy manual mentions (via the virtual package list)
that new virtual package names should be agreed on in debian-devel, so:
Any thoughts on this?


Thanks in advance,
Christoph.
