So, I am not arguing that we should change the output at all.

What I am saying is that the _list_of_parameters_ can be reorganised,
while still keeping the output as before.

I.e. the 'legal-manifest' macro could be rewrittent from the current:

    define legal-manifest # pkg, version, license, license-files, source, url, {HOST|TARGET}
        echo '"$(1)","$(2)","$(3)","$(4)","$(5)","$(6)"' >>$(LEGAL_MANIFEST_CSV_$(7))
    endef

to this new one:

    define legal-manifest # {HOST|TARGET}, pkg, version, license, license-files, source, url, dependencies
        echo '"$(2)","$(3)","$(4)","$(5)","$(6)","$(7)","$(8)"' >>$(LEGAL_MANIFEST_CSV_$(1))
    endef
