There is no versioned "Provides", so the whole construct doesn't make
much sense with versions, I fear. Moreover, we cannot be sure that the
next version of ethiop will include the fonts - which other version
should we take? In fact it may well be that the fonts will be in a
different package. On the other hand, AFAICT the separate package has
no advantage over ethiop stuff in texlive.
Therefore I suggest to just do it without versions; we can always change
it should the need arise.
BTW I have just submitted two bugs to ethiop, one about alternative
dependencies, one about including type1 fonts.
