[yocto] Strange IPK naming

[Gary Thomas]

I have a target machine whose name contains a '-', e.g. MACHINE="xyz-99"
When I build packages, the tmp/deploy/ipk directory is munged to be
tmp/deploy/ipk/xyz_99

Can someone tell me why this happens (where)? and can I do something
about it?  It makes it hard to set up the package database (/etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf)
automatically in my image.

Thanks
