See the definition of PACKAGES in opie-taskbar-images.inc.  Weird as it
may seem, I think RPROVIDES = "${PN}" really was the intended thing; a
slightly more intuitive approach might be to set RPROVIDES =
"virtual/opie-opie-taskbar-images" and adjust all the dependers to
match.

That package doesn't look like it ships anything other than images so
the usual considerations with -dbg/-dev/-doc packages probably don't
apply in this case.
