People did seem to have problems with that, citing 'needless post processing' when I said
you need to run one (1) command to get a feed! But we'll from now on assume people have no
problems with it.

I didn't say that, I meant that people wanting a Packages.* in deploy/ipk _most likely_
have more packages there than <foo>-image will generate and hence move out of do_rootfs
territory.
FWIW, image generation is ~5% of what I use OE for.

It didn't break, it _moved_, the subdirectories can still be used as development feeds.
Instead of saying

echo 'src/gz devfeed http://buildbox/tmp/deploy/ipk' > /etc/ipkg/devfeed.conf

you will now say

echo 'src/gz devfeed1 http://buildbox/tmp/deploy/ipk/ppc603e' > /etc/ipkg/devfeed1.conf
echo 'src/gz devfeed2 http://buildbox/tmp/deploy/ipk/efika' > /etc/ipkg/devfeed2.conf

Right? Or did the cset *really* break that as people keep claiming?

Assuming the above didn't break, what about this:

'bitbake package-index' will generate a deploy/bogofeed, everything else stays as it is now.
