Hello,

I sent this on the devel list, nobody responded.

ltsp5 requires an xdmcp server, but more than one package provides the
functionnality. What about adding a virtual provides for local servers
like

Provides: server(xdmcp)

This could also be used for smtpdaemon and webserver, which would become
server(smtp) and server(web) (or server(http))?

What do you think about that idea?
