Sounds good. Is this backwards-compatible, such that any package which
Requires: php-bz2
will still work a php package using the arch-specific provides? It's
not obvious from the guideline drafts.

This came up before. We can... but some (though possibly a minority) of
the bundled extensions do encode an "extension version" which is
*different* to the PHP version.
$ php --re spl | head -1
Extension [ <persistent> extension #22 SPL version 0.2 ] {
so should we use %{version} for spl or 0.2?
