Bug#77404: New virtual packages



retitle 77404 [ACCEPTED] New virtual packages
thanks

I believe that these can now be included in the virtual package list:

-- start of list --
telnet-server           Any telnet server
rsh-server              Any rsh server
telnet-client           Any telnet client
-- end of list --


Note:
ftp-client              Any ftp client

was also included in the initial proposal, but more thought is
required in how to define an "ftp" client, or if to rename it to
traditional-ftp-client. IMHO this should include any package that
comes with /usr/bin/ftp (ideally via update-alternatives). Anybody
wanting to discuss this should probably open up a new bug report
against debian-policy.
