Just to clear up a bit of confusion, packaging (e.g. the -dev package) has
nothing to do with populating files into the sysroot, other than that files
for each are originally pulled from the same location (i.e. files that get
installed into ${D} during do_install). So the determining factors for a file
going into the sysroot are (a) it has been installed into ${D} during
do_install and (b) it has been installed under one of a list of specific paths
as controlled by SYSROOT_DIRS.
