[yocto] packaging documentation

[Scott Rifenbark]

Hey Steve,

Ok - I will file this later today so you don't need to worry about it.  I
will use "Need better explanation of how recipes create packages" as the
topic.  I will add you to the CC list so you can track it.

Thanks for helping with finding issues with the docs.

Scott
