version numbers on virtual packages



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

I was going to change perl to perl5 think weekend and just provide the
virtual package perl.  This would close a bug filed by Brian White who
is worried about Perl6.  While I was thinking about this during builds
of Perl, I realized that I can't do that right now.  The problem?  dpkg
doesn't support versions on virtual packages.  Too many things depend on 
a specific version of Perl to just tell people to fix things up.

What does everyone else think?
