This still sneaks in pieces of rpm into distros where rpm is not needed so
better would be to retool dnf to not demand rpm support in libsolv and
break the dependency chain. Opkg is usually sought for small systems and
last thing we want is unneeded dependencies

I would rather use the OE configuration powers as such but I am not opposed
to such a solution
