As it came up during the server-team meeting, it seems that
the stack of dependencies for virtual is probably not what
it was intended to be.

Note that I made additional changes based on the assumption
that it would be good not to cross depend on any generic
meta-packages. It feels that would blow up the stack without
benefit and potentially confuses people.

Hopefully did not mess up things in the hurry...

-Stefan

Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: Fix dependencies and descriptions of virtual

The linux-virtual package depends on linux-generic, but that
would again depend on the complete kernel (including extra).
Fix this by pointing at linux-image-virtual and
linux-headers-virtual which point at the generic binaries.
Also change the dependency of linux-image-extra-virtual to
hopefully eliminate generic meta packages being pulled in.
And change some descriptions in the hope to match better.
