Since ${sysconfdir} is /etc by default and ${sysconfdir} is in the default 
value of FILES_${PN}, and your additional package is appended to PACKAGES, I 
suspect you'll find the file is being picked up by the main package first. You 
need to use =+ instead of += so that the some-tool-tools package is prepended 
to PACKAGES and thus gets the file before the main package.

Cheers,
Paul
