In the TODO.txt [1] there is the following:

"- Feature: [suggested by robert] resolving of dependencies like in 
apt-get (Debian package manager). Necessary extensions can be downloaded 
and installed automatically (idea: create dummy extension which depends 
on several extensions and acts like a package of extensions)"

I see the term "provides" is not used there.
Perhaps the TODO.txt should be extended so the TODO item about making 
the ExtensionManager apt-get-like includes your "provides" feature.

cheers,
Ingmar
