The problem is that I must be able to manage the configuration of a machine 
without physical intervention and only via package upgrades. A new 
configuration can be applied simply by incrementing the PR of a configuration 
package.

But maybe this is a use case only needed by me and I should manage it in my 
own specific layer ?

Now that I think of it, I have the same kind of problem for all machine 
specific configurations. For now, I just replace the PACKAGE_ARCH in my BSP 
layer with a machine specific one to indicate that a package contains a 
configuration valid only for a specific machine. Maybe, in a future release, it 
should be desirable to create -conf packages based on the CONFFILES variable ? 
I don't know if it's a good idea, but maybe I could bring that up on the 
architecture mailing list ?
