Yes - you can add negative instructions to both Import-Package and
Export-Package, to override the automatic processing, for example:
<Import-Package>!foo.bar, *</Import-Package>
would avoid importing the foo.bar package, even if it was required.
Basically, any directives you can give to BND can be used with the
bundle-plugin - for a good overview of the directives, please read:
http://aqute.biz/Code/Bnd
the thing to remember is the "pull-approach"... the BND tool uses
Export-Package, Private-Package and Include-Resource to decide
the contents of the bundle - it then analyzes the contents to find
referred packages and applies the Import-Package rules.
