If this is really intended to pull in any program that could feasibly be used as PID 1, there are probably multiple providers missing. A couple off the top of my head: sys-apps/busybox sys-apps/openrc (openrc-init) If the virtual is meant to represent something else (as I suspect it is), please elaborate.
