Great, thanks.

ssh-askpass is a real package (in addition to being virtual one). Here's 
popcon comparison:

udd=> select * from popcon where package in (select package from packages where package='ssh-askpass' or provides like '%ssh-askpass%') order by insts desc;
         package         | insts | vote | olde | recent | nofiles 
------------------------+-------+------+------+--------+---------
  ssh-askpass            |  6307 |  973 | 4981 |    284 |      69
  ssh-askpass-gnome      |  1568 |  358 | 1070 |    115 |      25
  ksshaskpass            |   396 |  106 |  277 |     13 |       0
  ssh-askpass-fullscreen |   342 |   74 |  258 |     10 |       0
  kwalletcli             |   217 |   40 |  153 |     24 |       0
  gtk-led-askpass        |   161 |   39 |  119 |      3 |       0
