By providing the virtual package, Hyper may serve as the sole terminal app on the system, allowing one to remove others such as GNOME Terminal.

In order to provide that, the package should also register itself for etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator. See issues like #2259.

You are allowed to provide this virtual package only if you correctly implement the "x-terminal-emulator" binary. See Debian policy, §11.8.3 what it must do.
