IMHO this example isn't a good one as a "case" for duplicate OSGi
provides.

What your example shows is that RPM does not allow one to express
version ranges like OSGi can. I'd say the spec should rather have:

Requires: osgi(org.objectweb-asm) = <BUNDLE_VERSION>

It's not great, but probably more accurately what you'd want. Anyhow,
there's likely a problem with both approaches depending on your
use-case.
