This is for a simple overview, there are other refinements (mostly
around
the use clause) that I won't go into here and that you can find in the OSGi
spec:

Thanks for the clarification, Pascal.
I guess you could liken import to just relying on a non-package name
Provide of an RPM -- something like what we're trying to for with these
automatic provides. You could say "Requires: libgcj.so.7rh" instead of
"Requires: libgcj" or "Requires: libgcj = 4.1.1". But I think this
is
different than what you describe and I don't know how yum or other
depsolvers deal with multiple packages Provide'ing the same thing.
