IMHO this is a bug.
If I need a tool at compile time I should only have to add that tool to DEPENDS,
this should take care of installing what ever else that tool needs to run.

However I understand Richard's comments that technically this is not easy
to achive so I don't expect a fix soon.

I guess that crda is sort of mandatory for images which use WiFi so having
that blacklisted is likely a showstopper for many users.
(pywbem got fixed because grep hinted that it has the identical issue, I don't
even know what it does)

Also the workaround will not hurt once RDEPENDS native are followed, at best
a package is installed in the sysroot because it is listed in two places,
at worst the RDEPENDS is no longer needed but gets still installed because
that change did not propagate to the user of the tool.

So I'm for fixing it with a workaround.
