I suggest there should be Provides-Corporeal (real files of other package, mostly lib, versioned) and Provieds-Virtual {any program of a kind ex:wwwbrowser, not versioned} cause there are problems with unversioned Provides now (ex: lib{gtk,gtk-imlib,gnome}-perl and econfigedit) and there is no need to version virtual packages old Provides should defaults to one of these It would also make standarizing lib names someday possible
