Bug#594868: packages.debian.org: Broken handling of dependencies on virtual packages in lenny-bpo
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
While resolving the dependency on xen-hypervisor-amd64 (a virtual
package provided by xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64) works fine in sid[1], it
doesn't resolve for lenny-bpo[2] despite xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 from
Lenny[3] provides that[4].
