Bug#294633: debian-policy: please add x-display-manager to virtual-package-names-list.txt
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.6.1.1
Severity: wishlist
Hello, I am following the steps in virtual-package-names-list.txt[1] in
order to add (or not add) the virtual package name 'x-display-manager'
to the authorative list of virtual package names.
The virtual package x-display-manager is described in Provides: by (at
least) xdm, kdm, gdm and wdm.
Patch attached: please comment on my somewhat terse description.
