Note though that virtual packages are intended for use by dependencies (see policy 3.6 and 7.5), so there wouldn't be much point unless emulated games were provided as packages (in a similar fashion to the efp >package).

yes, helps other dependences, theres a new frontends like, emuselect
(http://sourceforge.net/p/emuselect/) , gelide
(http://gelide.sourceforge.net/) that will be easy for upload and
póprt to debian, so then yeah, helps men!

the first describet, depends and launchers for apps like gelide or
emuselect, inclusive kemuexec

If it's making the package easier to discover, the way to do that is
by working on

type gba for gammers like others, its more easy rather thant type
mednafen, if i dont know any of linux,

Wouldn't a better solution be to provide handlers for the various MIME

oh yeah of course! please, i forget that in the diff! sorry!
