that seems a *very* generic name for a source package.
i'd suggest to use a more unique name, like "colossal-cave-adventure"-

so you won't create a binary package "adventure", but rather have
"colossal-cave-adventure" provide "adventure"?
i don't see a compelling reason to do so, as "Provides" really makes
most sense if there are *multiple* packages providing (more or less)
the same functionality.
if you don't expect other providers of "adventure", then it's probably
an overkill to use "Provides".
if you are worrying about people finding the package easily enough,
you should consider using "debtags" [1] instead of multiple package names.
