+Tag: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
+Severity: warning
+Check: fields/package-relations
+Explanation: The package declares a depends on a virtual package without listing a
+ real package as an alternative first.
+ .
+ If this package could ever be a build dependency, it should list a real
+ package as the first alternative to any virtual package in its Depends.
+ Otherwise, the build daemons will not be able to provide a consistent
+ build environment.
+ .
+ If it will never be a build dependency, this isn't necessary, but you may
+ want to consider doing so anyway if there is a real package providing
+ that virtual package that most users will want to use.
