Bug#569893: jocaml: provides a virtual package with illegal name
Package: jocaml
Version: 3.11.2.A-1
Severity: normal
User: treinen@debian.org
Usertags: edos-relation-warning
While it seems to be allowed to have version numbers that contain
uppercase letters, it is IMHO not allowed to have uppercase letters
in virtual package names. Jocaml does
Provides: jocaml-3.11.2.A
Policy 5.6.1 says that package names must not contain uppercase letters.
My interpretation of the policy is that the names of virtual packages are
governed by the same rules as the names of real packages.
