Researching this a bit more, it appears that this is a dpkg limitation. So, this will be hard to fix on the dpkg side, again unless we "force" everything. dpkg on debian linux also cannot handle Provides: when another package has a versioned dependency.

Hmm.. i do actually see some old messages regarding versioned Provides: being implemented in dpkg.. And i found a dpkg patch that does it, and a lot of other discussion about versioned provides in dpkg in google. (google "versioned provides dpkg"). So i will play around with this some more.
