Why are both ML variants of gconf being installed?    Presumably for
libgconf, which needs to have ML variants and is packaged into $PN.
$PN also contains the binaries and data files, which are not
ML-specific and can only be installed once.

So, gconf should split the daemon/binaries from the libraries.  I
suggested this back in July as it seems the logical answer, instead of
splitting the daemon binary and the service file that defines where
the binary is.
