The attached patch fixes all of this. a big thank you for having tracked down this bug, and having written the patch. I am quite impressed that you dived into the arcanes of deb to cudf encoding. The solution that you propose, that is creating separate pseudo-packages for the vesionend and the unversioned virtual package, is probably the only correct way to work around a bad design decision in the cudf format (for which I am partly responsable). I will have a deeper look at what the deb to cudf encoding looks now over the weekend, and upload the fixed debian package very soon. Cheers -Ralf.
