  feeling a bit sheepish if this is the answer ... i notice that
core-image.bbclass defines:

  PACKAGE_GROUP_nfs-server = "packagegroup-core-nfs-server"

however, while there is no recipe file named
"packagegroup-core-nfs-server.bb", there is one named
"packagegroup-core-nfs.bb", which contains:

  inherit packagegroup

  PACKAGES = "${PN}-server"

so does defining a PACKAGE_GROUP_* entry in core-image.bbclass allow
the packagegroup definition search to examine the internals of a
recipe file to check the definition of "PACKAGES" to find a match? as
opposed to referring to a recipe file directly which must *exactly*
match the name of the recipe file?

  thanks for any clarification.
