Is that intentional?  I mean is that a misconfiguration or something
reasonably easily changed, or are there specific reasons for that split,
do you know?

Yeah, that's interesting.  Present in the existing recipe as well, from
what I can see, so I'm thinking that hasn't worked since at least the
update to 4.2.6p5.

Morgan, can you confirm that you've got SSL support working in your
updated recipe(s)?

I think so.  Given that ntpd lives in FILES_${PN}, I'm thinking
everything listed in -bin looks appropriate for -utils.  Or dumping
-utils and leaving them in -bin.  Looking at the recipe it seems like
-utils was intended to be a housecleaning collection.  Did you find
other non-named binaries living in ${bindir} on some builds, Morgan?
