Can you please detail a bit more your problem?
(which packages are split? what is the client bundle? what are you
trying to achieve?)

Depending on the problematic bundles, an approach could also be to
merge them in a single bundle (using the Maven BND plugin in a third
POM, depending on the two artifacts). A good location for this pom
would be osgisandbox/merged/org.geotools.my_merged_bundle/pom.xml in
the plugin branch .

Are you working with the latest version of the plugin branch?
Could you test what I have done last weekend?

Not really, but doesn't it work to explicitly put the instructions you
need in the configuration?

Did you try something already?
If yes, can you please send it as a basis for thoughts?
