Looking at the dependencies of kde-base/kde, it seems like it would
be eligible to exhibit the "virtual" property. Perhaps it wouldn't
be very useful in this particular case, but it doesn't seem like it
would hurt anything either. So, I think it's probably fine to keep
the definition as it is and allow things like kde-base/kde to
exhibit the "virtual" property.
