smcroute is *NOT* a multicast routing daemon :)

A multicast routing daemon is a daemon that manages the multicast
routing table dynamically based on IGMPv3 signalling.

So the virtual package thing doesn't apply here; it could make sense
between xorp and pimd, as they both handle multicast routing.

The proper thing to do here is to demote smcroute to Priority: extra and
leave pimd at Priority: optional.

The pimd/xorp situation should be investigated, as I'm not sure both can
be installed at the same time either.
