After reading a few google hits of gentoo documetation about virtual
pkgs. I still didn't get it.
In my case I'm trying to avoid problems with a self built emacs (25)
not done thru portage.
I'm not looking to discuss the pros and cons of doing in this thead,

Well, that knocks down most of the unwanted pkgs but still as you see:
emerge -vp emacs-w3m
[ebuild N ] virtual/emacs-24 0 KiB
[ebuild N ] virtual/w3m-0 0 KiB

/etc/portage/profile/package.provided: like so:

What are you trying to do, just get emacs-25 installed

Can anyone say what that package actually does?
virtual/emacs-24 installs a directory emacs-24 under /var/db/virtual/ and it
takes around 10sec. This dir is only used by portage to figure out what you
have in your system.
