Matt, All,

I was thinking a proper solution to the issue would be something
along the lines of:

```diff
diff --git a/package/pkg-generic.mk b/package/pkg-generic.mk
index 9fbc63d19e..5e53d008e1 100644
--- a/package/pkg-generic.mk
+++ b/package/pkg-generic.mk
@@ -1120,6 +1120,12 @@ endif # ifneq ($$(call qstrip,$$($(2)_SOURCE)),)
 # configuration
 ifeq ($$($$($(2)_KCONFIG_VAR)),y)

+ifeq ($$($(2)_TYPE),target)
+ifeq ($$(filter YES,$$($(2)_INSTALL_STAGING) $$($(2)_INSTALL_IMAGES)
$$($(2)_INSTALL_TARGET)),)
+$$(error $(1) does not install anything anywhere)
+endif
+endif
+
 # Ensure the calling package is the declared provider for all the virtual
 # packages it claims to be an implementation of.
 ifneq ($$($(2)_PROVIDES),)
```
