The bitbake side is fine, It's getting put into RDEPENDS and all the
packages are beinh built properly. RPMs are built as well.

However, I don't see code that invokes package_rpm.bbclass properly.
It looks like it could work, but no where is MLPREFIX set for image.
There is some override or something missing on my end or in the code
to properly export these vars for the ML rpm install scenario.

Further more, from what I see no where in rootfs_rpm.bbclass do we
pass MULTILIB_PACKAGE_INSTALL into the list of packages to be
installed... thus they fall off. ipk looks like it might have this
stuff done.
