virtual package and conflicts for core dump handlers?

[Paul Wise]

Hi all,

I'm maintaining corekeeper, which is a simple package for storing core
dumps in a username-based directory tree on disk. It uses a Linux
core_pattern to run a script to securely store the dumps.

I noticed that apport also provides a core dump handler and that
systemd will soon also provide a separate package containing one:

https://bugs.debian.org/744964

Since Linux can only have one core dump handler at a time I wonder if
we should define a virtual package for core dump handlers and have each
of them provide that and conflict with it.

I propose core-dump-handler as the virtual package.
