As per the previous patch, this is really a request for comments, I can
see pros and cons...

I've been using this configuration locally for quite some time (it's
needed for rm_old_works in particular) and it seems to be an improvement
in general.

Last time I was using rm_old_works without this change
https://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-smartphone/commit/0d4c17de1ba7343d82bb10c311754e29d573c485

I've seen a lot of /usr/src/debug/${EXTENDPE}${PV}-${PR}" on target from
-dbg packages, which doesn't look right, was this fixed in whatever packs 
source code to -dbg packages?

Cheers,

Probably from the way splitfile2 works in package.bbclass. I think this
should be using ${PF} explicitly if that is what it wants...
