The problem concerns all virtual packages, so I don't see why it should |
| 9 |
be solved only for kernel-sources. What about a "vir-dummy" package |
| 10 |
category, with one dummy package for each virtual package? It's really |
| 11 |
three lines of bash code to create it. |

And what about adding to emerge the possibility to inject virtual |
| 14 |
packages? I really see this solution as the cleanest one, and most |
| 15 |
coherent with what as been done for real package. I mean, "inject" is "a |
| 16 |
way to satisfy a dependency with one single command, without eemerging |
| 17 |
anything". Imho, it makes sense to be able to do it for virtuals. |
