I'll leave it in, in order to make it easier for users to find this package.
The typical use-case would be following:

- user installs f-spot
- user downloads additional extension PictureTile via fspot's Add-In manager
- user runs Tools -> Create Photowall
- user receives error message "picturetile.pl not found"
- user tries to find "picturetile.pl", not "picturetile"

Including the Provides makes it easier for rpmfind and the likes to serve this
use-case.
