The original intention of the package list is to mention it explicitly all the packages required to achieve the security functionality,  even though some of the packages are dependency packages of the main package.

I Just want to remove the dependency packages because, their names are changed when different distribution version (buster, bullseye, etc) is used like below
[buster]
  Package: nftables
       Dep: libnftables0
[bullseye] 
  Package: nftables
       Dep: libnftables1
So, I have removed the dependency packages here and allowed package-manager to install the correct dependency packages.

But, still there is problem when the main package itself has different name in the other distribution version, in this case should we have different recipe for each distribution version? Please suggest if there is any to resolve such scenarios.
[buster]
  Package: libtss2-esys0
[bullseye]
  Package: libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0

Thanks
Venkata.
