Got a request¹ providing them, but I don't see any sense in it at all. The
only package using it is app-office/lyx. Imho the dependency should be
removed, since it is a optional runtime dependency the user has to configure
anyways, so it'll never work out of the box. This sort of virtual is only
useless bloat imho. I guess the same goes for virtual/textbrowser which is -
for whatever reason - the run- _and_ compile-time dependency of
app-text/docbook-sgml-utils.
Opinions?!
