[oe] package structure for some boot tools?

For the OXE810 i'm working on some boot tools are needed.

First there is an u-boot. Fine, that works.

Second there is a stage1 loader. Building should be similar to u-boot i believe.

Third there is a tiny header part generated from a simple assembler source file. This one is prepended to stage1 loader resp. u-boot image.

Fourth there is a simple utility compiled from a C file and running on the build host, patching the images made from header and stage1 loader resp. u-boot image.

What is the favored package structure to build such thing in OE and which dependencies need to be defined? One package for each part (u-boot, stage1 loader, header and patch-utility)? Or should the last tree reside in the same package? Or something else?

Are there some naming conventions or suggestions for the packages?
