There is no global license file, only the license headers specified per 
files, of which I tried to list all the unique ones in the 
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. I'm still at a loss what to put in the LICENSE 
variable. Any suggestions?

This is related with the issue below, please see my explanation there.

My initial problem in patch v1 was that I was getting this dev-deps 
error (I used INSANE_SKIP to suppress it):

ERROR: QA Issue: libubox rdepends on libubox-dev [dev-deps]
ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.
ERROR: Function failed: do_package_qa

Martin J. told me to fix the issue properly for these recipes.

Now, in v2, I've made it go away by reordering ${PN} in front of 
${PN}-dev in PACKAGES and explicitly adding these files to FILES_${PN}. 
If I use the default PACKAGES variable, or do not add the libraries to 
FILES_${PN}, that error reappears.

I don't have a level of knowledge-depth of the OE packaging mechanism to 
fully understand what is happening here and I couldn't find more info in 
the docs... So any help on this is very much appreciated :)
