How about an XB-Meta-Package: dummy package field?

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:36:45 -0800

We have (and will continue to have) many transitional dummy packages with no content. I see two main advantages to flagging them:
1) Lintian could be taught to warn about depending on them rather than the "real" package 
2) Software center could refuse to display them even in the detailed view

Thoughts?
