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.
