This bug is not yet fixed.

tesseract-ocr 3.02-2 (as well as 3.02-1, btw.) still ships with
Depends: tesseract-ocr-eng (>= 3.01~) | tesseract-ocr-language (>= 3.01~)

Since versioned dependencies consider only real packages, the versioned
dependency to the pure virtual tesseract-ocr-language package is
completely useless.
If you really need to have this dependency versioned, the usual approach
is to create a specific versioned virtual package like, for example,
xorg-video-abi-$version.

Depending tesseract-ocr to tesseract-ocr-language-3.01 and having all
the language packages (additionally?) provide this should do the trick.
