As I understand it, you don't actually define defaults anywhere. This
means OE would break "out the box" which isn't acceptable and that alone
means I can't merge this.

Secondly, the virtual/xxx namespace is *only* for DEPENDS/PROVIDES, not
RDEPENDS or PACKAGE_INSTALL. For runtime packages, you need to use
${VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils}.

Cheers,

Richard
