My belief is that the "Provides" line is not enough to satisfy dpkg. Certainly that was true in the early days of fink. It's possible that it has changed, and that I haven't kept up with dpkg's capabilities.
I'm not talking about adding Provides lines to the virtual perl packages, i'm talking about adding whole new virtual packages for every perl module a fink user has in the system perl.
To fink, dpkg, and apt, VirtPackages.pm creates real packages, not "Provides". It all works because of our hack to dpkg and apt. If a user tries to install something that wants cctools (>= 446-1), it works fine - the install fails until they install the new dev tools. The proposed perl modules solution should work too.
