Yes. Actually like the virtual packages work right now it probably ok to
just take one of the packages satisfying the mail-transfer-agent.
But right now I don't quite understand how apt-get/aptitude would pick the
mail-transfer-agent to use? is it first hit of a package with Provides
mail-transfer-agent? in some package cache or something?
Maybe apt-get/aptitude could just asks the user when they find that
multiple packages Provides the dependency?
I know that would not work non-interactively, but that could be solved
with maybe having some file a standard place telling apt-get/aptitude
which are the official debian standard package for a Virtual package and
install that?
