This causes regressions for setups where DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL uses
the override mechanism. E.g. I have

| DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_mydist = "ld-is-gold ${${PROJECT_FEATURES}"
| DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN_mydist = "systemd"

Before this commit, DISTRO_FEATURES contained 'ld-is-gold' and the
project features. Now, project features + ld-is-gold vanished and
pulseaudio is in again.
