The usual "%name = %version-%release" Provides is automatic for a package.
When you rename the package, it changes, too.

You cannot add an explicit "Provides: openssl = 0.9.7a" to the openssl097a
package, because recent behaviour in RPM would remove such a package with
the next update of the openssl package.
