Virtual Package Sugestion (was Re: Polisy question.)



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,
I would like to sugest a new virtual package name package: "picon", which
is the actual name of the facesdb. The folowing packages will provide it:

  picon-domains
  picon-users
  picon-usenix
  picon-weather
  picon-misc

and the xfcaes page will then recommend picon. If I understands this right
that virtual package name has to reach the virtual_packages before I can
upload my packages. So I'll wait for a comfirmation. For a explanation of
the nessesity of all this, se the following diskution:
