I went through this with the guy who submitted the 1.7 recipes.

On their own, the DPDK packages are useless as the user needs to
compile their application with them.  What you're basically doing is
forcing a library onto *every* image for that machine, even ones that
don't want to use DPDK.  Please don't do that.
