Thank you for the filing.  On IRC, Nicholas pointed out that it is not
clear elpa-dash should be providing elpa-dash-functional at all without
providing the empty upstream transitional dash-functional.el, which it
is not at present.

So instead I'm going to patch and team-upload all remaining packages
depending on elpa-dash-functional to not do so, and then drop the
Provides.
