The overall benefit over our virtual package system, possibly in
addition to equivs seems flexible enough. Why do we tailor incomplete
special case solutions instead of recommending equivs more popularly?
I say incomplete, because similar use cases exist for different package
groups - e.g. think of mail servers and database servers. Do we really
want dummy packages for each group of alternatives?
On the other hand, we have a perfect solution which apparently only
needs some more propaganda if even developer don't know it.
That said, you're a developer. If you want to maintain such a dummy
package, you could consider uploading it despite of all critics and hope
ftpmaster will accept it.
I would, however, support any effort in finding a consolidated web
application policy regarding dependencies, suggestions, ways to interact
with web servers and such.
