The issue is, I need to determine whether or not a given fragment

is just requiring any overlapping Import-Package or Require-Bundle
to be identical (i.e., I allow that, anything else I reject
attaching the fragment).
If/when necessary, I contemplate getting around this by just trying
to satisfy all dependencies and just look for interesting candidates
on overlapping ones, but it doesn't seem necessary now.
That's equivalent to my approach when dependencies can be satisfied,
but when the combination of dependencies is simply unsatisfiable
because of conflicts, I wanted to provide specific feedback about the
clash and where the clash arose from rather than generic feedback
about the failure to resolve dependencies. Anyway, I simply wanted to
bring up this approach and the available code.
