I disagree. This same thing happens to me with my package
"brasero-lite". It is brasero but without the gnome dependencies,

package that has brasero as a dependencie, such as sound-juicer,
pacman attempts to install brasero, not realising that i allready
have brasero-lite. This isn't a sound juicer fault, it is a fault
in pacman.
That is a different problem....
The brasero-lite PKGBUILD should have provides=("brasero=2.26.0") in
it. Sound-juicer requires "brasero>=2.26.0" so just providing
brasero is not enough.

I believe this doesn't work either and the problems are at least
related.
Concrete example:
lash-git: provides=('lash=0.6.0')
calf-git: depends=('fluidsynth' 'libglade' 'lash>=0.6.0')
namcap calf-git-20090406-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
calf-git E: Dependency detected and not included (lash-git) from
files ['usr/bin/calfjackhost']
calf-git W: Dependency included and not needed (lash)
As I said, we have two completely different problems here. Yours is a
limitation of namcap and it would be good to file a feature request to
get it fixed.
The other "problem" is a PKGBUILD with incomplete provides encountering
a versioned dependency. Completely different.
