Ok, this one I managed to figure out by doing some trial and error.
What I have learned from that exercise is that if you wish to extend DEPENDS specifically you need to do DEPENDS_append_class-native = " <pkg>"
Doing DEPENDS_class-native = "<pkg> will override DEPENDS completely for native builds. Please correct me if I am wrong.
