The problem concerns all virtual packages, so I don't see why it should
be solved only for kernel-sources. What about a "vir-dummy" package
category, with one dummy package for each virtual package? It's really
three lines of bash code to create it.

And what about adding to emerge the possibility to inject virtual
packages? I really see this solution as the cleanest one, and most
coherent with what as been done for real package. I mean, "inject" is "a
way to satisfy a dependency with one single command, without eemerging
anything". Imho, it makes sense to be able to do it for virtuals.
