One final packaging question.  In my build I have these files:
   /etc/amanda/
   /etc/amanda/MyConfig/
   /etc/amanda/MyConfig/tapelist
   /etc/amanda/MyConfig/disklist
   /etc/amanda/MyConfig/amanda.conf

I want the /etc/amanda/MyConfig to be packaged separately in "amanda-demo" package.
   PACKAGES += " ${PN}-demo "
   FILES_${PN}-demo += " \
		 /etc/amanda/MyConfig/ \
		 /amanda \
   "
   FILES_${PN} += "${libdir} \
	    ${libexecdir}/amanda/* \
	    /var/amanda \
	    /etc/amanda \
   "

Sadly, the /etc/amanda/MyConfig tree is ending up in the main package.  How
can I stratify it the way I want?

Thanks
