Yes, I'm aware it's not ideal, but it's at least better than no version at all. But I don't have a better idea, I'm afraid: it's not generally possible to predict the version number of the binary packages from the source package version. debian/rules might modify the binary version (add or remove epochs or do other modifications), there are binNMUs, etc. Perhaps we can figure out a heuristics which is safe and avoids most of these wrong cases of catching a versioned Provides:. (Aside from that I think that versioned Provides: are madness, but I suppose this was discussed long and thoroughly :) ).
