I suggest we split the recipes which we don't see direct ownership of 
(i.e. a common usecase) into recipes-external/* as a first step.
Step two would be to find a suitable upstream for each package, with the 
end goal to have recipes-external empty.

Somewhat OT:
I really see some improvement the way 
disutils.bbclass/setuptools.bbclass work today,
I've improved create-recipe to understand python source-tarballs, early 
patch on yocto ML, which makes the tedious task of adding python 
dependencies somewhat easier. But alot of the metadata available in the 
python source packages should be able to be automated with bitbake via 
an inherited bbclass.

RDEPENDS, sub package-split et.c. most of the metadata is already 
avaiable in dist/setuptools enables packages. The added bonus of 
automating as much as possible would be a common layout of most 
packages. Is anyone aware of any previous work in this direction ?
