Yeah, I was thinking about that too.  The obvious downside of this plan
is that this layer would end up containing a random-looking grab-bag of
recipes with nothing in common other than that they're needed for LSB
conformance and not in oe-core.  

In practice that's probably going to mean that the majority of them
would duplicate recipes from other layers (e.g. meta-browser in the nss
case) which doesn't seem like a very satisfactory state of affairs.
