Should just be PR = "r2" and shared by both.

I am not sure you need to extend PR here since we are working to get rid 
of PR in general, just leave the PR="r2" in the new .inc file.

I am not sure if this is doing the right thing, as I am getting QA 
errors regarding where debug files are going, but this may need to be 
GRUB-TARGET.  This is just an example of one:

ERROR: QA Issue: non debug package contains .debug directory: grub-efi 
path 
/work/core2-poky-linux/grub-efi/2.00-r2.0/packages-split/grub-efi/usr/lib/grub-efi/i386-efi/.debug/part_bsd.module
ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.
ERROR: Function failed: do_package_qa
