Yes, or just require the other .bb file and override the pieces needed.
Not quite sure which would look best right now.

Ultimately I'd like to have something like Ross' patch:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=ross/gitup

and use that for cases like this. Requiring the .bb and then tweaking
may allow migration to something like this more easily.

Cheers,
