Entry points can require features, but AFAIK they can't be 
feature-specific.  Unless if an entry point depended on a feature, and 
that feature wasn't loaded (which they aren't by default, even when the 
egg is installed for implicit use without require()), and the entry 
point wasn't loaded as a result.

However, I think the entry point will be found either way, and then the 
feature required when the entry point is actually used.

If there was a way to say that an entry point is only available when a 
feature is loaded (as opposed to saying that a feature must be loaded 
before using the entry point), then that would work.
