If the intention is that other packages also have "bootloader" in RPROVIDES, I 
thought that these kinds of "virtual provides" weren't supported well by all 
of the package managers. (We might get away with it here since they probably 
will all be in their own separate machine-specific feeds, though).

Cheers,
Paul
