I haven't looked closely at the structure of the firmware repo, but depending 
on that it could make things tricky yes. You only have to make sure that the 
first item in the regex (enclosed in parentheses) matches the name you want for 
the package, though. It's also possible to add additional files either with 
aux_files_pattern/aux_files_pattern_verbatim or on an individual basis using 
FILES_packagename += "path/to/file".

Cheers,
Paul
