conditional inheriting classes does not work with bbappends

Example: meta-openembedded/meta-networking/recipes-support/chrony/chrony_4.2.bb

--------------------------------8<--------------------------------
# Add chronyd user if privdrop packageconfig is selected
inherit ${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'privdrop', 'useradd', '', d)}
USERADD_PACKAGES = "${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'privdrop', '${PN}', '', d)}"
USERADD_PARAM:${PN} += "${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'privdrop', '--system -d / -M --shell /bin/nologin chronyd;', '', d)}"

...

PACKAGECONFIG ??= ...
-------------------------------->8--------------------------------


Problem #1: useradd is not inherited because PACKAGECONFIG is set below the conditional "inherit"
statement. Even when I add "privdrop" to PACKAGECONFIG here, useradd.bbclass is not inherited. I
must move the PACKAGECONFIG line above the inherit statement to make this work.

Problem #2: Due to problem #1, useradd.bbclass is also not inherited when I add "privdrop" to
PACKAGECONFIG in bbappend file (in a custom layer).

Christian
