you have it your way, the patch has been pushed into OE-Core so
further discussions is moot from here on, I wish we wait for
discussions to finish for little we discuss on patches now a days.
anyway for this
but on debian I see there aren't many reverse deps given thousands of
debian packages its only needed by handful

libcap-ng0

Reverse Depends:
 qemu-system-common
 libvirt0
 libvirt-bin
 suricata
 libcap-ng-utils
 ladvd
 heimdal-kdc
 audispd-plugins
 smartmontools
 qemu-system-common
 libvirt0
 libvirt-bin
 libcap-ng-dev
 irqbalance
 gnome-keyring
 dbus-1-dbg
 dbus

That doesn't look much core component to me to be frank, But yes when
one needs it in his own setup then it becomes pretty core. I can site
you an example of many,  RDK depend on yajl its found in multiple
layers too but we happily take it from meta-oe because we want to
respect the layer boundaries.
