Comment (by bonefish):
In principle there is no requirement to include a provides entry matching
the package name. We just use that as a convention/policy for the
HaikuPorts packages. It should be possible to refer to any package via
"pkg:<package name>" and also install the above packages this way. We
could make pkgman more clever and try "pkg:..." for the given names
(first?).
That being said, we certainly should enforce the policy at least via
haikuporter.
