That's already the case now. The problem is the PROVIDES overlap since the Poky 
people decided a distro could only have one true ssh implementation instead of 
choosing it per image. So if your distro doesn't set the 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_sshd you get those nagging messages during parsing that 
scare users and make consultants rich.

OE .dev isn't a lot better with the misguided DISTRO_SSH_DAEMON, but at least 
it doesn't show those nag messages.
