Does that actually do anything useful?

I know the existing connman.inc does the same thing, but I don't think
we want to proliferate this sort of debugging chit-chat in new code.

Also, the way that this code (both the existing stuff and the new block
you've added) interacts with do_split_packages() is a bit hokey.  You
have a hook function which basically just adds an entry to a list, and
then a separate loop which iterates over the resulting list and fiddles
with the RDEPENDS.  As far as I can tell there's no reason that the
RDEPENDS tinkering couldn't be done inside the hook function itself,
which would avoid having two copies of essentially the same code.

That seems like rather a wide-ranging set of changes.  You prepended
${PN}-vpn to PACKAGES which should mean that it gets first pick of the
FILES.  Are all those changes to FILES_${PN} actually necessary?
