As far as Debian is concerned, that's true. However, Ubuntu's linux
packages have these "Provides" lines. But as I haven't used Ubuntu in a
while, I don't know if these are actually required for anything on Ubuntu
systems.

I'd be fine with any decision (keep or drop), I just don't wanna make the
call to drop them as I'm not aware about the implications on other Debian
based distributions.

Regards,

Timo
