Hi everybody,

virtual-package-list.txt.gz [1] says:

   1. Post to debian-devel saying what names you intend to use or what
      other changes you wish to make, and file a wish list bug against the
      package debian-policy.

So, here is my proposal (which I've already posted on debian-devel):

--- debian-policy-3.9.4.0/virtual-package-names-list.txt.orig	2012-11-20 11:35:21.592679972 +0000

  mp3-decoder             an MP3 decoder package
  mpd-client              a client that can control the Music Player Daemon
