Duplicating recipes in recipes is frowned upon.

Shouldn't we have the discussion why you are  not proposing this for
Openembedded-core instead of duplicating the recipe? Duping a recipe
just to drop a layer dependency isn't a long term solution.

At the moment, no. I have explicitly not done anything with dependencies 
because they can be dependent on configuration (e.g. DISTRO_FEATURES, 
PACKAGECONFIG) and I haven't taken the time to figure out how to introspect 
and present such optional dependencies.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul. I was wondering since I suspect that over time, the
question we are asking will become more important. We already ran into a
similar issue with sip.

Maybe it is time for oe-core-not-so-common-depends?

Right, the layer index really is the right place to be doing this. I've filed a
bug:

I'd think we'd want a bit more definition around what goes into such a layer,
that title is pretty vague.

Cheers,
