> node-babel7 does provide versioned virtual packages (like acorn).

You are right: I failed to check correctly versioning.  apt and aptitude 
apparently does *not* show version for virtual packages (I thought so, 
and I thought I had checked that with node-types-uuid).

This works:

  apt-cache showpkg node-types-babel-code-frame | grep '^[a-z]'

This also works, and is more flexible to e.g. reveal that 3 node-types-* 
packages do not provide version:

  sudo sync-available
  grep-available -FProvides -sProvides node-types- | grep -Po '\bnode-types-[^,]+'

This should also work flexibly and more elegant, but doesn't for me (not 
sure why):

  grep-status --field=Provides -sProvides node-types-babel-code-frame

Thanks!
