That's not true:

PSTAGE_PKGMANAGER = "stage-manager-ipkg"

[..]

     pkgmanager = bb.which(path, 'opkg-cl')
     if pkgmanager == "":
         pkgmanager = bb.which(path, 'ipkg-cl')
     if pkgmanager != "":
         bb.data.setVar("PSTAGE_PKGMANAGER", pkgmanager, d)


stage-manager-ipkg is a shell script (flashback to the original ipkg 
implementation), which will get used till opkg-cl is found in $PATH.
