Jordan Sissel 541550a74d Allow versions in Provides field for Debian packages ... This fixes #1788. This also reverts #280. For #280, at the time, this change to ignore versions was correct. Two years after #280, Debian began allowing `Provides` field to have versions. This change also fixes bug in gem-to-deb conversion where previously an incorrect Provides syntax would be generated (but thanks to #280, removed), so this bug was only noticed after #280 was undone! Computers are hard sometimes. Added tests for gem-to-deb conversion specifically for the Provides field. Tested manually with Docker on Ubuntu 14.04 and 18.04 and results meet expectations. The history here is follows: * In 2012, fpm was patched to remove version specifiers in Provides field because Debian didn't support it. * In 2014, Debian dpkg[1] added support for versions in Provides field * Somewhere between 2015-2018, Debian and Ubuntu included this new version of dpkg. * Debian packaging policy docs (v4.4.0) was updated to allow versions in the Provides field. Expected impacts: * Older versions of dpkg/etc should _ignore_ the presence of a version specifier. Testing on Ubuntu 14.04 confirmed this. * Newer versions of dpkg/etc should respect the presence of a version specifier. Testing on Ubuntu 18.04 confirmed this.
