Do you mean I have to compile the package?

But probably solved in a different way:

get a list of targets from
bitbake-layers show-recipes | grep -B1 '[layer]'

join them with

bitbake -e [target] | grep 'PACKAGES='

there are still some packages coming from PACKAGES_DYNAMIC=
I'm not sure if I'm missing something else.

I'm going to write some shell script that will make things easier after 
I get a better understanding of PACKAGES_DYNAMIC.


This should be the equivalent of
aptitude search '?source-package([package])'

> $ oe-pkgdata-util list-pkgs -p connman
> connman-tools
> connman-tests
> connman-client
> connman-dbg
> connman-dev
> connman-doc

and this is similar (not equal) to:
apt-file find [package]

But debian tools relay on an index and don't need to build stuff.
