The warning doesn't appear until you actually build a rootfs with that package 
in it.

Ah, wait, on closer inspection it actually exists, but it's a symlink to some 
none-existing location. Apparently, to save some diskspace and reduce 
maintenance on text files I linked a few files together. Somehow, the link got 
copied instead of the file contents.

I un-symlinked the "internal" file, and (together with some forced rebuilds) 
that finally made the warning go away.

Thanks!
