Well if we started with conventional names such as
ebook-dev-*
then something like:
apt-cache search ebook-dev
suffices for a complete index. In this case, a pseudo package could
be unuseful.
What about a unique tree for this kind of books, like
/usr/share/doc/ebook-dev
which contains a couple of directories:
html
pdf
for different kinds of ebooks?
