A line of the format
   package provide Tls 1.7.19
is desirable somewhere in tls.tcl, such that package requests with
   package require Tls
from another program get a positive response that the package is present.

The Tcl API call Tcl_PkgProvide() is called from Tls_Init() as part of loading
the TLS extension.  There wouldn't be any advantage to adding it to tls.tcl.

What are you trying to accomplish ?

The "package provide" is a standard feature of RPM build systems; it does not mean that at the time of calling "package provide" some Tls_init() has already happened or is available. We wish to cover situations inside a RPM build to *request* installation of that Tcl package, before running anything *after* the package might have been installed.
