This modification looks (to me) related to bluez4 and Angstrom only and
I wonder why some package recipes (bluez4*.bb) contains some lines that
strictly ties them to Angstrom distribution breaking other distributions.

Files I found are the following:
recipes/bluez/bluez4_4.35.bb:PROVIDES_append_angstrom =
  " bluez-utils bluez-libs"
recipes/bluez/bluez4_4.37.bb:PROVIDES_append_angstrom =
  " bluez-utils bluez-libs"
recipes/bluez/bluez4.inc:PROVIDES_append_angstrom =
  " bluez-utils-dbus bluez-utils bluez-libs"

It would only 'break' for 'other' distros if they manually enable 'angstrom' as override. If they do so, they do it at their own risk. Some grepping shows only DISTRO=openmoko does that and I haven't heard any complaints about bluez from those users.
Also, that override only works if you set a PREFERRED_PROVIDER as well.

Having said that, why do you keep blaming angstrom for kaelios problems? I keep getting reports (second or third hand info, I admit) about you badmouthing angstrom on IRC, which seems to be in fashion lately, but I would prefer people to do badmouthing with *actual* problems instead of projecting their own. It's not angstroms fault if you missed a few lines when copy/pasting from it.
