But for the situation we are talking about, they would need to have the
same interface, since a PGP front end needs to interact with the PGP
program. So in the PGP front end depends on the "pgp implementation"
virtual package, but the PGP program doesn't have an interface that
works with that front end, you get a broken distribution.

The interface: create a temporary file, launch the editor on that file,
and wait until the editor finishes.
