When trying to fix this I understand why it's done the way it's done.
It's because the glob installing *-ptest won't match dbus-ptest-ptest,
which is the name it get since it's built using it's own recipe
(dbus-ptest_1.6.10.bb).

Should using it's own recipe be accepted as a valid pattern, if that
is the case an extra *-ptest-ptest glob would be needed. Otherwise I
can't think a good solution except for integrating the dbus-ptest
recipe into the dbus recipe. Or am I missing some third option?

Does anyone know why dbus ptest is built as it's own recipe?
