[Pkg-freedict-devel] debian-policy: New virtual package: dict-freedict

[Kęstutis Biliūnas]

Package: debian-policy 
Priority: wishlist

Hi all,

I recommend to add the virtual package "dict-freedict" to the virtual
package list. When I adopted the orphaned 'freedict' debian package,
I have replaced the 'dict-freedict' meta package with the 'dict-freedict'
virtual package (as was suggested in #205417). Now the package, which
requires at least one dictionary may depend on this virtual package,
and user not need to to install all dictionaries. So, this virtual
package actually exists since 14 Aug 2005. See:     
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/virtual/dict-freedict

Now the dict-servers (dictd, serpento) and dict-clients (dict, kdict,
opendict, ...) may to add this virtual package to the Recommends or
Suggests fields in the debian/control files (as it is in the package
'latrine' a long time since).

I propose to include the such entry to the virtual package list:

dict-freedict - a FreeDict dictionary, formatted for the dictionary
                server and client which uses the DICT Protocol.

I am sorry, that I so long delayed to offer to add this virtual package
to the virtual package list.  

Best regards,
