One option is to call into Portage to find this out, but of course Paludis and Pkgcore people most likely don't like this approach. One thing that comes to mind is to allow for virtuals to install files so we can install the provider information in a format easy for us. We need the information in format ${PN}-${SLOT} because that's the way we install in /usr/share. So do you think it's ok for virtuals to install files (we can of course call the category java-virtual/ too), should we call Portage code, or do you have an another idea?
