I think this is still good enough. As we see from Felix' patch, we can satisfy OSGi still for the latter reason by declaring proper exports. In contrast to the patch I'd select a version though that makes it totally clear that it is synthetic e.g. I'd take 1.9999 or 1.4.9999 instead of non-existing 1.5.
