Indeed it hasn't at all.
Lintian has a static list of virtual packages
(data/fields/virtual-packags) and 'bacula-director' is in that list.

Then it just needs to be removed from that list.
I'd attach a patch, but that list is actually automatically generated,
and indeed trying to regenerate it it drops the baula-director and
bacula-sd-tools packages and adds bacula-director-database.
