I do not think this will work.  I want every package with extensions
for autopartkit to be installed before autopartkit, not just one of
them.  Depending on a virtual package will only make sure one of the
packages implementing the virtual package is installed, not all of
them.

I guess I'll just ignore the problem, and accept that most of the time
the install ordering will be OK.  As long as the package is unpacked
(but unconfigured) the file in /usr/lib/autopartkit.d/ should be
available when needed.

Done.
