Maybe not. Will the following work? If so, then you're right about no
need for a virtual package.
xbase - Depends: cpp
netstd - Depends: cpp
cpp - Conflicts: gcc
gcc - Conflicts: cpp, Provides: cpp

I wouldn't want to do it myself. I see you're the maintainer of every
important development package. Perhaps I can just help you with it? A
question - are you simply repackaging the stuff from tsx-11? I believe
that's the not the case for libc, right? You're taking certain parts
of libc-5.3 into our libc-5.2. If you are largely following H.J. Lu's
releases, I'd be willing to help you more.
