[yocto] License missing coreutils when creating /usr/share/licenses and bbappend

Hi!

We are using yocto / openembedded (pyro). I use:

COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"
LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1"

to generate a /usr/share/licenses and /usr/share/common-licenses
respectively. But unfortunately, the coreutils subdirectory is empty.

I use a bbappend file containing only:

ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY = "40"
ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY[od] = "100"

such that only od gets installed (remaining functionality by busybox).

Any hints on how to get the license info in there as well?!

Regards,

    Matthias
