Ah, right, we should not set this if no PACKAGES.

Yes, it is from the image class modifications. I tested it separately,
the bitbake core-image-minimal buildtools-tarball were the same w/o
these changes, I don't know why it works after your explanations, I
tried to print the self.rdepends_pkg from cache.py after patched:

self.rdepends_pkg: {'core-image-minimal': ['packagegroup-core-boot', 
'run-postinsts', 'run-postinsts']}

maybe that's why it works.

Anyway, we should drop this since PACKAGES = "".
