or PS_DEPENDS with the manual defining PS
and users thinking that it means any of:
    Package Script / Populate Sysroot / Post Script

Also, all of Jussi's package changes are of the form:

    PS_DEPENDS += "foo-native:do_populate_sysroot \
                   bar-native:do_populate_sysroot"

Is there any chance that we could make 'do_populate_sysroot'
be the default task (with the possibility to over-ride)
so we'd have:

    PS_DEPENDS += "foo-native bar-native"

and since we've come this far... only -native dependencies are
sensible since this is running on the builder, so we could just have:

    PS_DEPENDS += "foo bar"

or if you want to spell it out:

    PS_NATIVE_DEPENDS += "foo bar"
