  i *know* i've read that before somewhere, just don't remember where.
the only reference i've seen recently is, coincidentally,
lib_package.bbclass:

#
# ${PN}-bin is defined in bitbake.conf
#
# We need to allow the other packages to be greedy with what they
# want out of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin before ${PN}-bin gets greedy.
#
PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN = "${PN}-bin"

  anyone know if it's somewhere in one of the yocto manuals?
