IMHO the deb backend (or a class to translate things) needs to happen here.

With this change, I can no longer do a preferred provider and have the
exclusion
of the opencontainer and docker variants.

So unless the above functionality can be provided, I don't see how I can
merge
this change.

Also, how is the deb backend dealing with virtual/kernel, virtual/libc, etc
?
