Is this correct ? Yes, Provides are only really needed in two cases: when you have a virtual package provided by multiple packages which need to conflict with each other, and when you have a package which was a dependency of other packages and need to declare that your new package provides the same interface. So, the Provides: is most likely not needed, but it also shouldn't hurt unless lib-saxon-java and libsaxon-java are *not* functionally equivalent.
