I also think it reasonable to have all virtual packages listed in the one
place. But if I made an issue of it, I'd have to go chase all the ones
currently in use but not listed, and I haven't felt I've had the time for
that yet. :-)

Excellent! This is something I always thought I'd do (just to help me
manage the VPNL), but I never got around to it (probably mainly because I
don't really know perl ;-). I'll see if I can have a look at it later
tonight or tomorrow (at the moment, I'm late for dinner....), and maybe use
it to help me bring the VPNL fully up-to-date.
