As for knowing what files will go where I can see that you could only
really know that once a recipe is built (since the FILES_..._${PN}
allows wildcards). But as for the list of packages created by a
recipe, isn't that deterministic from looking at the (full) recipe
information (including inherits etc)?

Also, would having the layerindex list PACKAGECONFIG options per
recipe be possible?
