To me, sato should be however poky wants to deal with it.  But a lot of 
the deps are common gnome things and so forth that others care about too 
and we should try for meta-oe.  Again, to me, this is how we can 
reconcile the bits that poky has better than oe.dev (and vice versa) so 
both parties win.
