As I see it, we are facing a more complex problem here.
As our packaging format becomes more popular (and we really want it,
don't we?) there will be more upstream authors that package their
programs as "deb" but don't follow our policies (non-FSSTND-compliant
packages, for example).
What are we going to do to avoid conflicts between their versions and our
own packaged ones? I guess virtual-packages is not the optimal solution...
all said IMHO, of course...
