It seems to me we need to do one of two things:

A) Add explicit RPROVIDES so that the core package provides these things
for compatibility with existing recipes

or

B) Add something to the migration guide to explain what users need to do in
order to fix their recipes after this change - the staging area for these is on the wiki
(doesn't have to be fully fleshed out, just the bare details would be sufficient)
  https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/FutureMigrationGuide

Could you please take care of this?

Thanks,
Paul
