No, that doesn't install any more packages, as these are all virtual
packages. The result is that you install the same set of packages, but
with a guarantee that your dependencies are meaningful.

No, you don't have to use it in this case. It is mandatory only when you
use Provides:, which is meaningless only for public modules and
extensions. See the python policy update that was discussed on
debian-python recently.
