[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-3
Severity: wishlist

Instead of
# aptitude search xmonad
p   libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev                    - Extensions to xmonad
v   libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev-0.16-c9735         -

Perhaps say
# aptitude search xmonad
p   libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev                    - Extensions to xmonad
v   libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev-0.16-c9735         - (virtual package)

p   xmonad                                       - Lightweight X11 window manager written in Haskell

Just plain looks better.
Also we now know at a glance that the maintainer didn't forget a title, etc.
