Thomas? ;-) While in general I prefer to merge things as soon as possible, and then improve on top of it later on, in this case, I believe it would be nice if the virtual package infra could from the beginning support the host package case since we know we will need it for the Lua stuff. Yann, you could just test it with some simple dummy host packages to ensure that your virtual infra works for host packages, and leave it to Fran?ois to rebase his series on top of the infra once it has been merged.
