Tom, if you drop them _as bundles_, karaf works like any other osgi container -- you have to drop in all the bundles you need. You might need to set serviceRequirements to disable in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg if your bundle manifests are not fully informative on the topic of service capabilities.
If you drop them _as features_, you need to make correct features, and that's painful if you can't get help from tooling.
