Bug#200395: displays already satisfied recommends for virtual packages



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: normal

Apt seems to display recommends information even though the recommendation
is satisfied by a virtual package. In the example below, I have 
apache2-mpm-prefork installed, which provides httpd.

root@kite:/home/joey>apt-get install viewcvs
