I am perfectly aware that libversion-perl is available only as a virtual
package in unstable and testing. I deliberately chose to use those
virtual packages in order to ease backporting to Debian stable.
I was unaware that this practice was unfit for Debian.
Please enlighten me as to where in Debian Policy it is forbidden to use
virtual packages as source dependencies - or point me to that
alternative(!) packaging policy you use for your judgements as
ftpmasters.
Oh, and those other cipux packages accepted recently does the same, so
perhaps you should throw those out too. :-P
