This is Debian-style library package naming, which we enable by default. If 
you don't want it for a particular recipe, you can remove it by setting 
DEBIAN_NOAUTONAME_${PN} = "1". You may also need to set this for the other 
packages in PACKAGES for the recipe, e.g. DEBIAN_NOAUTONAME_${PN}-dbg = "1", 
DEBIAN_NOAUTONAME_${PN}-dev = "1" etc.

If you want to turn it off everywhere, you'd need to set INHERIT_DISTRO such 
that it does not include "debian" in your custom distro config file.

Cheers,
Paul
