Okay, I just heard back that the "Provides:" is intended to be added
before final release.

It's deliberately left out for the time being, to ensure other packages
shipped by Ubuntu themselves, in the official repos, don't depend on
version-neutral "python".

(Depending on a package that doesn't exist in the repos should be easier
to notice, compared to if the dependency was seamlessly handled by
"python-is-python3" or "python-is-python2-but-deprecated".)
