I have a few questions that I can't deduce an answer to from your
description:

~ * How does packaged-staging handle switching ANGSTROM_MODE?

If the packaged-staging-packages (p-s-ps) get seperated by target tuple
it should be ok, and if the p-s-ps dir can be overriden (e.g.
PS_STAGING_DIR = foo/bar/${ANGSTROM_MODE}) we should be safe as well.

~ * do we have 'one' staging dir as we have now, or can each package have
its own staging dir built from its DEPENDS?

I know that this largely depends on how fast/well we debug sysroot
stuff, but I'm curious how this is in your current design.

~ * will p-s.bbclass be package format agnostic, or are we going to
insist on opkg?

I know from experience that making it format agnostic isn't hard, only
tedious, but most of all subject to combinatorial explosion for
unit-testing. It also doesn't really matter, since p-s-ps are orthogonal
to the ones in deploy, but I can image OE-newbies freaking out over this.

regards,

Koen
