I wonder if this NOTE should only be shown if there is no provider foo providing
foo itself. If there is, PREFERRED_PROVIDER_foo ?= "foo" would then have
to be set internally.
It looks like now, every time somebody decides to provide an alternative to
some existing package, everybody has to add PREFERRED_PROVIDER
entries for this or live with the NOTEs.

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_task-bootstrap = "task-bootstrap"
