They do. In the past 2 years many bugs around the infrastructure were
fixed and versioned provides can now be fully used (in particular, there
were some last pieces regarding wanna-build and britney, that have been
fixed ~1 year ago IIRC).
The only thing is that they may be confusing to some, as it's not so
straightforward to find a virtual package compared to a plain `apt show`
