Yes, that's the mechanism. A feature's name is used as the doctest tag. These features are explicitly declared in a single file, src/sage/features/sagemath.py, and we would add the mapping from features to the distributions providing them (actually, to SPKG names) there as well. Using this mapping, we can then start to give installation hints to the user.
