I trust you on the fact that this changes often (I am not confident with 
these
situations) and so I think you are right: the solution should not create 
recurrent
work.

If you can't find one, I think this example (while not valid anymore) is 
still
easily understandable. Maybe the sentence should be written to the past: 
"For
example, in the Debian system, "X11-text-viewer" was a virtual package, 
but only
one package, xless, provided "X11-text-viewer".
