I think it is better to include full Debian version in provided version, 
to allow e.g. declaring "Breaks: $specific_broken_debian_release".

If ${nodejs:Provides} resolves to "2.2.0" then probably what I propose 
is achieved with this in control file:

Package: node-rollup-plugin-alias
Version: 3.1.1+~2.2.0-4
Provides: node-rollup-plugin-alias (= ${nodejs:Provides}~${source:Version})

I use ~ to have a (quite unlikely, but still) proper package of that 
same release win over this odd package.
