Hi,
these defaults are defined in meta/conf/bitbake.conf:

PACKAGES = "${PN}-dbg ${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-dev ${PN}-doc ${PN}-locale
${PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN} ${PN}"

This means that staticdev package is created before dev package, just after dbg.

and

FILES_${PN}-staticdev = "${libdir}/*.a ${base_libdir}/*.a ${libdir}/${BPN}/*.a"

indicates that the .a files in these dirs belongs to the staticdev package.

Now, I guess you should try:

 SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = "dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs staticdev-pkgs"
