Right, but that's not really the point.  I think what Otavio was trying
to ask was, why didn't you just do:

PACKAGES =+ "libgmpxx"
FILES_libgmpxx = "${libdir}/libgmpxx${SOLIBS}"

?  I think the way you have done it will cause the libgmp package name
to change for people not using debian.bbclass, which is probably a bad
thing.
