Is underscore allowed in package names? What about in virtual package names?

[Max Bowsher]

Hi,

The underscore character is not allowed in package names, right?

Are virtual package names supposed to conform to the same restrictions?

I ask this because I just came across "Provides: x86_64-linux-gnu" in
the current etch Packages file (for the package 'type-handling').
