I must say I really like this proposal! It both makes virtual packages
better, and solves the BR2_EXTERNAL problem without making invasive
changes in the package infrastructure.

A few minor questions:

 *) Shouldn't we use 'qstrip' when doing:

    POWERVR_DEPENDENCIES = $(BR2_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_POWERVR)

 *) The jpeg virtual package should also be converted in the same way.

 *) In PATCH 1, in package/rpi-userland/Config.in, you're adding an if
    BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_USERLAND ... endif block, but *before* the comment
    related to the toolchain dependencies of rpi-userland. I never
    remember if that is the situation causing indentation problem of the
    comment in menuconfig or not. Would be good to check this.

Thanks for doing this!

Thomas
