Not necessarily, no. A virtual package tells you what the *package* is.
It's the job of alternatives to deal with files in the filesystem.
I'm not saying there isn't value in having some generic dhcp-client
command-line interface that Debian can define; I'm just saying it's not
necessary for the specification of a virtual package, and I don't think
etherconf needs it, either.
