Virtual packages section is empty

[Cyrille Bollu]

https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/virtual/ and https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/virtual/ are all empty

OTH https://packages.debian.org/stretch/virtual/ does contain a list of packages.

Looks like commit 20d7c1a2fa4a248f660461508620417ef9dbbcc2 should have been cherry-picked to the ubuntu-master branch?

    empty.
