Right, the handling of dh-sequence-* could be improved.

Currently it's an array of static entries in lib/Config/Model/Dpkg/Dependency.pm
(@virtual_list) which is then converted into a hash which is then
checked to exclude warnings. Maybe adding a regexp to

        if ( @res == 0 and not $virtual_hash{$pkg}) {   

would be enough? Like (untested pseudo-code)

    … and $pkg =! /^dh-sequence-.+/

(and removing the list of dh-sequence-* packages from @virtual_list)


Cheers,
gregor
