Right. These packages need to be updated to reflect the "newly" introduced virtual provides. The reason of adding virtual provides was to make packages not dependent on a praticular TeX distribution. These virtual provides, such as tex(tex), tex(latex) or tex(xetex) were added at the beginning of the year 2008 so it works at least for Fedora 9 and higher. We should file bugs for these packages.
