Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2020-03-09 09:46:03 UTC 
We currently have in URL: "Virtuals are merely packages that are in the category of virtual. They use their dependency string to specify the providers for the virtual and should not install any files."

"Should not" seems a little weak, so how about "... and do not install any files"?
