I don't think this has anything to do with ppp. I faced the same issue
with a local recipe, of which an older version had been built before.
When packaging, the old version was used. A new workdir was created for
the old version during this step and the resulting packages were empty.
No recipe existed for this old version at that time, i.e. PR had already
been increased to 1.0, but 0.0 was used by bitbake.

In the end, I deleted bitbake's cache and all files matching the
package's name to get rid of the annoying problem. I think there were
pstage packages of the old version lying around.

Versions used were bitbake master and oe master of one or two weeks ago
(opendreambox distro / mipsel).
