Andrea Adami already asked me about it.

RPROVIDES_${PN} = "${PN}" looks a bit wrong to me and changing it back
to
RPROVIDES = "${PN}"
doesn't make it much better (more understandable in my eyes).

I found one issue in ttf-fonts
http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=14c265b107725a8f7534dfb354ad12edf9f7aec3
but there it was because .inc file was setting RRECOMMENDS for all
packages and _subpackages_ including this .inc. So setting it for ${PN}
wasn't enough (and I could also add RRECOMMENDS for every subpackage really
needing this RRECOMMENDS font-update-common).

But having ${PN} on right side of assignment is a bit strange, I'm not
using/building opie, can you check why exactly it needs to be used this
way?.
