Hello,
With the advent of cdrskin [1] for writing CD-R/W in a cdrecord's
command-line-compatible way and already having several dvd burner
applications, I'd like to propose the addition of at least two more virtual
package names to the `Authoritative list of virtual package names' [2] -

Without trying, I think of vipw, vigr, mail, elm, rcs (and thus cvs),
trn, tin, and nn. I grant that all but vipw and vigr can be used without
an editor -- if you only read mail and news and never check anything in.

Well, it's been a while, so lets add:
imap-client and imap-server
to the virtual package names list.
