As you know, I never really bought into the reasons behind packaged deps. I think OSGi is
the only modularity spec that advocates them, and even they are moving away from them with

No - OSGi is not moving away from the
package dependency model, that is an incorrect observation. The generic capabilities and
requirements provide an additional level of declaring dependencies in cases where you
don't have this information available as packages. Examples are the existence of an
IoC (beans that are being injected typically don't have a package dependency on the
IoC container) or some other type of extender.
OSGi is the most mature modularity system around today and although it supports other
types of dependency declaration the package dependency model has been found the best
dependency model by all OSGi experts that I know of.
