Be carefull with order of packages in PACKAGES usually you need it from
most specific files pattern to less specific and the problem above is
related to this:

http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-October/011283.html

which wasn't applied, so yes you have to redefine whole FILES_${PN} or
the part you need for your app, like I did for syslog-ng
