I'm just curious, but why exactly is a virtual needed?

Why can't it be something like:

!blah? ( sys-apps/eject )
blah? (sys-apps/eject-bsd )

A virtual is usually reserved for when it affects a large number of
packages.  If it affects one or two, then simply using some fun *DEPEND
syntax usually covers the issue.
