Ah, that makes sense. I investigated some more, and the do_package task
has a hard-coded dependency on rpm-native. Removing this dependency and
rebuilding resolved the issue; the only ipks being rebuilt now are from
packages that depend on openssl and need to be recompiled.

Should this dependency be based off PACKAGE_CLASSES, or is it necessary
to always depend on rpm-native? We're using opkg, not rpm.

Thanks,
