The requirements are solved purely with the Provide-Capability headers of the bundles. It does not matter if bundle A actually provides such a service. The important thing is that bundle A has a suitable Provide-Capabilitiy Manifest header to announce it will provide a suitable service. If this is not the case then you should make sure the header is added. If you can not change the bundle then you can also add the capability in the feature.
