Its defintely a bug in the recipe with the "alsa-utils" package just
being broken. We need to do something like:
ALSAUTILSPKGS = "alsa-utils-x \
alsa-utils-y \
alsa-utils-z"
PACKAGES += "${ALSAUTILSPKGS}"
RDEPENDS_${PN} += "${ALSAUTILSPKGS}"
which should make the recipe do what it says it should do.
