Use Provides instead of alternatives for -extra package dependencies

James Cowgill requested to merge versioned-provides into debian/master

This changes the handling of the -extra packages by:

  • Adding a Provides: (= ${binary:Version}) to -extra packages
  • Removing the -extra package from the symbols file dependency template

The adventage of doing this is mainly simplification of dependencies. In theory APT should do the correct thing here.

Closes: #904163
