This is really a trick question. You might either try it or
ask on debian-devel (debian-mentors ?) or just try it. If it
does not work this way I would probably do my next try by droping
the verison number in the Provides line. This should work if
bioperl-live has version number >= 1.5.2 at least according to
my understanding of these things which is perhaps not really
up to date.
(got to re-read the policy to check if we can have versionned
provides...)
This might help as well if you think it is the faster than the trial
and error method (which I prefer with my experimental physicists
background ;-) ).
Kind regards
Andreas.
