How can be blocked the installation of a package that is not installed?
Pinning it to a negative number [1]? (I didn't try it)
This will work for a normal package, but not for a virtual package,
which is my original problem.
I think you'll just have to use this method to blacklist all the providers of
that virtual package, sorry.
It is easy enough to find a list of the current providers of a virtual, but
you might have to update you pinning whenever a new package is added that
provides the virtual you don't want pulled in as a recommend.
