Yes, that makes sense.

The problem is that Vala doesn't have such 'import' statements. There
are only 'using' statements which are optional (you can just use fully
qualified names) and there is no easy way to map namespaces to packages
(although can try guessing e.g. for namespace Anjuta, we try looking for
regex "(lib)?anjuta-\d.\d"). Gir namespaces map more accurately to Vala,
but they are still not widely used and have some incompatibilities.
