Indeed the absence of Provides: makes transitions to testing harder. I'm
about to upload vde2-2.3.2-3 with the Provides you suggested and
urgency=high.

Hopefully this version of vde2 will migrate to testing in a few days
(2.3.2-2 would have been migrated today if it not was for the
libvdeplug2-dev issue, so I feel safe to put urgency=high for .3 and
have it migrate in 2 days).

After the migration it's clearly deprecated to use libvdeplug-dev as
build dependency. We'll take care to contact other maintainers and
inform them about the change, and we'll remove again the Provides: line
once it's safer to do so.

Sorry for the inconvenience. :-)
