Unfortunately I doubt that this will be acceptable to the RPM people.
Thanks for the pointers anyway, though :)

I'm confused as to what import does that is different from requires.
Can you please elaborate or tell me what to read?

Export I guess you could compare with Provides in RPM parlance.  Anyone
else have thoughts on this?  For those that don't know -- and please
correct me if I'm wrong -- Export is used to limit what java package
names are visible to other bundles.

Thanks,
