Bug#740511: libqt5core5a: Some (foreign) packages, that depend on libqt5core5 won't install with libqt5core5a

[Martin Lorenz <martin@lorenz.priv.at>]

Package: libqt5core5a
Version: 5.2.0+dfsg-7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

with the upgrade to libqt5core5a some foreign packages were forced to uninstall
because they depend on libqt5core5.

As far as I understand libqt5core5a ist backward compatible with libqt5core5,
so shoulden't libqt5core5a have a "Provides" tag stating the backwart
compatibility?
