Thanks ... and now that I'm managing to spend some time on this (!) I
notice that the distro only picks up org.apache.aries.* bundles
throughout the dependency tree if they are marked with a <scope> that
is something other than 'provided'. So I'm looking for a way to tell
the assembly plugin to pick up the 'provided' ones too. Which kinda
defeats the meaning of 'provided'. So maybe the 'provided'
dependencies and second order dependencies shouldn't be marked as
'provided' after all.
