Well, if we want to go this route, we could require use of a virtual
package in all cases like this.  Then foo and foo-nonfree would both
Provide: foo (and probably Conflicts: foo), and those who want to can
enable non-free and install foo-nonfree.

That was one of the options offered in the Policy discussion.
