I already responded in the bug but for completeness I cross-post here.
The issue that you find confusing is how OSGi works. There is no rule
that a bundle version and a package version must be the same. In fact,
we ship Eclipse 3.6 but only a few bundles use the 3.6 version.

Please have a look at:
  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering

Of course, there are also countless blogs discussing the issue.

In Orbit we have to respect what other projects define. We cannot use a
different version just because we like it better.

As I mentioned already, it's too late for Helios. If you use
Require-Bundle instead of Import-Package then you should be fine once
the fix will be released.
