Hi,

 The section:

       <sect><heading>Defaults for satisfying dependencies - ordering
         </heading>

 in particular the paragraph:

         <p>
           Therefore a dependency on a virtual package should contain a
           concrete package name as the first alternative, so that this
           is the default.
         </p>

 seems to be missing from policy (it existed in the packaging manual).
 Is this intentional?  The only similar paragraph I can find is:

      If you want to specify which of a set of real packages should be
      the default to satisfy a particular dependency on a virtual
      package, you should list the real package as an alternative before
      the virtual.

 but needless to say, this doesn't have the same effect.

 Thanks,
