Do you mean that you imported one Item containing two Bitstreams, and
DSpace created a separate Bundle of type ORIGINAL for each Bitstream
of that single Item?  Or that you imported two Items each containing
one Bitstream and found two ORIGINAL Bundles, one for each Item?  The
former seems incorrect, the latter correct, if I understand the
design.

I believe that there should be 0 or 1 Bundle of any given type, per
Item.  So, for example, an Item submitted with no Bitstreams attached
would have no ORIGINAL Bundle, while an Item submitted with any
positive number of Bitstreams would have one ORIGINAL bundle.  A second
Item with Bitstreams would have one ORIGINAL bundle distinct from that
of the first Item (the Bundle.ID value is unique).

I find this remarkably difficult to describe in natural language. :-)
