Fedora is adding mvn(groupId:artifactId) to their packages. I did not 
know they where autogenerating them.

I don't like the naming as the convention groupId:artifactId goes well 
beyond of the maven world nowadays.

I already used provides/requires in the style of 
java(groupId:artifactId) in some packages in Java:base. Those packages 
are not built with maven. I guess the generator scans the installed poms.

If we ever build maven, we will need this, altogether with the JPP maven 
layout depmap stuff, which I don't really like. I don't understand why 
they created a maven resolver which reads a XML file to do mapping when 
you can do the same with file paths and symlinks.

I think we should add them. I don't see us putting a better system in 
place in the short term, and if we do, we would like compatibility 
infrastructure.
