Agreed.

I wish to create the following virtual packages:
telnet-server           Any telnet server
ftp-client              Any ftp client
rsh-server              Any rsh server

The following virtual package should exist (according to the changelog),
but doesn't:
telnet-client           Any telnet client

To go along side these already existing virtual packages:
ftp-server              Any ftp server
rsh-client              Any package that provides an rsh client

Justification:

1. See above text.

2. rsh-server: A number of packages depend on rsh-server, and I think
the version in heimdal-clients is also sufficient. This requires a
virtual package.

3. telnet-server: means each telnet server only needs to conflict with
"telnet-server" and not have to name each individual server.

4. ftp-client: could be useful for packages like dftp which depend on
ftp. This wouldn't include programs like ncftp, which are completely
different, but rather ftp and heimdal-clients (which includes ftp).
