Support for versioned provides was added recently to dpkg and apt,
and we'd be keen to start using those for official Debian packages
as soon as that's possible (see #758100).

However, according to Johannes in
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/04/msg00246.html

dose3 doesn't currently support them, and IIUC this is a blocker because
wanna-build relies on that so source packages build-depending on versioned
virtual packages will stay in BD-Uninstallable.

with Pietro Abate saying in the later one that it might actually work?

Could you please confirm the current status?

Thanks for your work, and greetings from the Debian Perl team sprint in
sunny Barcelona!
