https://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Customizing_Metadata#Update_descriptor_advice:

an example of using it is from the tracecompass project:

update.matchExp=providedCapabilities.exists(pc | pc.namespace == 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu' && (pc.name == 'org.eclipse.linuxtools.tmf.feature.group' || pc.name == 'org.eclipse.tracecompass.tmf.feature.group'))

so, at least it seems possible.
