In PEP 345 the Provides-Dist field mentions that when you use a virtual distribution you automatically conflict with other distributions providing this virtual dist. The next field, Obsoletes-Dist, explicitly says it's to conflict with another dist. I guess you can obsolte a dist without providing it, but when would this be used? Basically I don't fully understand the intended manings and interactions of Provides-Dist and Obsoletes-Dist. Also a minor typo in the Requires-External field: the examples just use "Requires" as field name.
