The SDK currently installs a fixed set of packages, the headers deemed
useful for gnome-mobile development - this isn't currently very useful
and is an area I'd like to improve.

The SDK does come with a package manager (opkg-cl) which you should be
able to configure to point at your existing feeds and then use to
install additional headers into your SDK.
