I think I've finally found the root cause of this

The problem is that ${sysconfdir}/monkey/ is directory and ipk backend doesn't
support directories in conffiles.

This is snipped from opkg-utils/opkg-build:

        if [ -f $CONTROL/conffiles ]; then
                for cf in `cat $CONTROL/conffiles`; do
                        if [ ! -f ./$cf ]; then
                                echo "*** Error: $CONTROL/conffiles mentions conffile $cf which does not exist" >&2
                                PKG_ERROR=1
                        fi
                done
        fi

+ Ross because of following commit in oe-core

Ross, I assume you didn't use os.path.isfile, because
RPM supports directories in conffiles, but maybe you had
plans for opkg-utils?

Do you have patch somewhere to extend opkg-utils to allow
directories in CONFFILES? Fix for this opkg-build check seems
trivial, but I haven't check how opkg will handle this on target.

    package_ipk: check CONFFILES exist before adding them to metadata
    
    opkg-build verifies that conffiles exist, so verify that the specified files
    actually exist before writing them to conffiles.
    
    This mirrors the behaviour of FILES and package_rpm's CONFFILES handling.

Eduardo, temporary work around is either list all CONFFILEs separately or drop
CONFFILES (like I did for world builds)
