22 The virtual is useless without some wrapper script to execute any of the
23 installed locks, since they have no other uniform command or syntax
24 Perhaps even eselect module with the wrapper?
25 But then why is this virtual, instead of just || ( ) list in the package
26 that will install the wrapper?
27
28 Seems like an overkill in anycase
