Not necessarily, no. A virtual package tells you what the *package* is. It's the job of alternatives to deal with files in the filesystem. I'm not saying there isn't value in having some generic dhcp-client command-line interface that Debian can define; I'm just saying it's not necessary for the specification of a virtual package, and I don't think etherconf needs it, either. -- Branden Robinson | GPG signed/encrypted mail welcome [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/9C0BCBFB Consultant | D5F6 D4C9 E25B 3D37 068C Progeny Linux Systems | 72E8 0F42 191A 9C0B CBFB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
