Either that, or the opposite of it, i.e. move it to something like |
| 21 |
virtual/libjpeg-soname to make the intention clear. Whatever we would |

Also, moving these virtuals out of virtual/ would require updating |
| 25 |
several tools. For example, tools must handle empty HOMEPAGE and |
| 26 |
LICENSE. |
