There are some pieces in here I like but I'm not sure overall this is the right way to make this work. For example, lets say I want to use the eclipse tools with a plain sato image. Its hard for me to do this with the patches as they stand. We need to take a step back and think how a user is going to expect this to work. I think what we need to do at the basic level is have something like an IMAGE_FEATURE that we can turn on that pulls in the various IDE integration pieces. In this case, it would explicitly add openssh/sftp and we should use the package manager functionality to replace dropbear with openssh when an image requests both. This IMAGE_FEATURE would then be on by default for the -sdk image but could easily be enabled for others.
