Groan. Good news is that my aggregator passed, bad news is that it includes stuff it shouldn't. So I have the answer to my question and the answer is that the aggregator *will* pull over plugins that haven't actually been requested. Thanks Martin for the bug report, I'm glad I'm not the only person who was surprised by this.

I second Konstantin's recommendation.  You can use p2.mirror as a slicer and build a smaller repo from your current repo, and make that your contribution.

See http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/e4/releng/org.eclipse.e4.builder/builder/general/mirror-jface.xml?view=co&content-type=text/plain for an example of slicing out some bundles, it works with feature IUs and product IUs just as easily.

Good luck,
