Your recipe can now be used in DEPENDS of other recipes with both "my-recipe"
and "my-recipe-package". N.B.: please do not use underscore in recipe
names, it can have weird consequences (been there, trust me). I assume
it's only for the sake of an example so it's fine.

Here, you mean, ${PN} (packaged named my-recipe which is the main
package usually) can also be known as my-recipes-package, it's another
alias, for different thing but still nothing crazy.

"Please install my-recipes-package which is an alias to my-recipe
package."
This actually seems okay to me. So if no typo and no underscore, I'm
clueless.
Can you try that exact same recipe but with:
pkg_postinst_ontarget_my-recipes-package instead of
pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} ()?
And another try, with the exact same recipe (so not the modification
asked above), with IMAGE_INSTALL += "my-recipe"?
In any case, this seems to me to be bug that should be reported.
Quentin
