Question, why does this use libtalloc as the package names rather than the
default of talloc? In the common case of the debian bbclass inherited,
they'll get renamed based on the library soname anyway. Also, overriding
the PACKAGES list isn't ideal, since it means future changes to the default
value of PACKAGES will not be picked up here. Also, this packaging is worse
than default, as it doesn't have the -staticdev package.
