Provides should not be a problem here, because we need a strict dependency on 
a real package to ensure the /u/s/d/PKG symlink is not dangling.

Or is it allowed to install
 * /usr/share/doc/FOO/copyright (where FOO is *not* the name of a binary 
package)
 * /usr/share/doc/VIRTUAL/copyright (where VIRTUAL is a purely virtual 
package)
and then have /usr/share/doc/$PKG > FOO (or VIRTUAL)?
