I spoke to Radu online already, but I'll repeat again here in case
anyone else is confused by PACKAGECONFIG.

The latest documentation is here:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-P

The key point is that the 3rd argument is DEPENDS, and the fourth is
RDEPENDS.  Many instances of PACKAGECONFIG will leave out the fourth,
but in this case the third is empty (note the extra commas) so
consolekit is added as a runtime dependency.
