Summary
Make it clear that if you specify a provider in a package resource collector, you must explicitly set that provider on package resources for the collector to apply.
Additional Context
I was unable to get this to work and then I noticed I was not setting the provider on my package resources but instead was relying on the defaults from the OS.
