It doesn't, its the fact that "dev-pkgs" are requested in
IMAGE_FEATURES. "openssh-dev" would be the default for openssh packages
and dropbear-dev would be the default for dropbear packages. 

The patch here doesn't sound correct. I'm wondering if the correct fix
is for ${PN}-dev should not depend on ${PN} and whether that would fix
the problem?

Cheers,

Richard
