| Yep something like that. The specifics of what to do in various cases |
| 8 |

Better to say *how* it would be handled IMO. |

| And...? I guess you are referring to "profiles must provide a default |
| 17 |
| ..." but that _is_ a correct statement. If somebody wants to create a |
| 18 |
| new profile that doesn't derive from base, they must specify defaults |
| 19 |
| for all the virtuals. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Serves them right for not deriving from base :) |

| Why? The virtuals would be no different to regular packages. |

Oh, actually, it's worse than I thought. You can't use virtual/ as the |
| 29 |
prefix *at all*. |

These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |

AFAIK, virtual can't be removed from categories either... |
