FWIW, I *really* don't want to see us do this. Packages produced by 
packagegroup recipes don't ship any files, they shouldn't have to declare a 
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. Same goes for any similar recipe. (Perhaps license.bbclass 
ought to be checking whether the package contains anything before 
complaining.)

Cheers,
Paul
