Yes, please ask this on the osgi-dev mailing list or open an OSGi specification bug at https://www.osgi.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi.
I would not expect you to get Package objects for any packages for which a
class is not defined. In most cases I don't think the VM class loaders do
that (boot, extension, application etc.).

I don't think imported packages should be listed since they are imported
from other bundles.
Does it matter which bundles the packages come from? From the client of
the classloader, I would have thought this should be transparent, i.e. that
it returns all packages that are visible through this classloader. From
the javadoc for java.lang.ClassLoader.getPackages(): "Returns all of the
Packages defined by this class loader and its ancestors". In an OSGi
environment, wouldn't it be natural to include classloaders from bundles
depended on as well?
Anyway, is this a question better suited for osgi-dev instead of this list?

Jan
