Description

When parsing import package declarations, the manifest parser reads them in as an array, but converts it to a map to check for duplicates. The map values are then converted back into an array, which does not preserve the order of the declarations in the manifest. It would be nice if the manifest parser preserved the order of the declarations, since this simplifies creating test cases which are dependent on this ordering.
