"Defaults for satisfying dependencies - ordering" gone?
Hi,
The section:
<sect><heading>Defaults for satisfying dependencies - ordering
</heading>
in particular the paragraph:
<p>
Therefore a dependency on a virtual package should contain a
concrete package name as the first alternative, so that this
is the default.
</p>
seems to be missing from policy (it existed in the packaging manual).
Is this intentional? The only similar paragraph I can find is:
If you want to specify which of a set of real packages should be
the default to satisfy a particular dependency on a virtual
package, you should list the real package as an alternative before
the virtual.
but needless to say, this doesn't have the same effect.
Thanks,
