Forgot to say, Bitbake's dependency model is loosely based on Debian's so the Debian Policy is a good read for semantics:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#binary-dependencies-depends-recommends-suggests-enhances-pre-depends Debian's "Depends" is our "RDEPENDS", what you want is "Pre-Depends" that we don't (yet) support. As I said, this is just a matter of picking a name and then mapping it into the control file.
