pkg-stats doesn't have a notion of a package being a host or a target
package. It knows only about packages, be they target, host, or both.

Also, the CPE_ID values are automatically filled in for the host
variant of the package by deriving the one of the corresponding target
package. This is explained in PATCH 03/10 commit log, which states:

"""
The <pkg>_CPE_ID_* values for the host package are inherited from the
same variables of the corresponding target package, as we normally do
for most package variables.
"""

So, if you set any of the <pkg>_CPE_ID_* variables, or
<pkg>_CPE_ID_VALID = YES, then it will apply to both the target and
host package, unless of course you override HOST_<pkg>_CPE_ID_* for
some reason.

Does this help ?

Best regards,

Thomas
