i agree. that is the problem. but we have to take care of it, we can't
move the responsibility of creating correct conflicts etc. to the
authors. 

i know that virtual-packages are not the optimal solution, but it's
working till we have something better. and two virtual names to manage
16 packages isn't a bad ratio :-)
