Sorry, you lost me: how does /dev/env/MY_VAR relates to what you put
in "provides:" in a DSM?

I thought "provides:" is a sibling to "requires:".  That is, when
zippo has to satisfy the set of "requires:" directives, it looks for
packages which "provide" the required features.  Did I miss something?

That would be wrong, IMHO.
