This info is probably hidden in time. They seem to be recipes from the pre
git era.

Wrt the machines using it:
No idea why Tim added it for sheevaplug.
Guess Leon just used sheevaplug as starting point for openrd base.
Wrt openrd client: I just copied over from openrd base, but openrd client
does not need it.

(btw there is also something called u-boot-env.bb
This is apparently a dummy recipe to get u-boot env into deploy and is only
used by neuros)
