Fully agree with Richard here.

Most rpm provides are in the form foo(bar) so if you need perl's module 
Some-Module, the rpm provides will be perl(Some-Module).

I would better try to convince rpm provides in the (3-4...) rpm distros 
use something like Provides: plasma(ResourceName) and then the API 
Richards mentions would just work in a much generic way, and other 
distros (non-rpm) can implement it with something different than 
provides. (and we would not need one dbus call per resource type).
