Very interesting - I'm building two different system images for this
target and I tried to apply the BAD_RECOMMENDS to only one of them.
The target images (pure result of bitbake) did the right thing, one
image had eudev-hwdb and the other did not.  The image without eudev-hwdb
seems to be never able to install it using opkg install/upgrade, but
only if the package would need to be downloaded from the IPK server.
I copied the appropriate IPK package to that image manually and opkg
happily installed it from the direct file.
