Adding a virtual package named libv8 will make it much easier to create packages which depend on libv8.

I'm having a problem with a binary package I've created which depends on libv8.  If I specify a dependency on
libv8-3.14.5 directly then my package wont install on some systems.  If I leave out the dep then my software
wont run with out the user manually searching for the latest version of libv8 and installing it.

Please help.
