When recipes have complex and dynamic packaging, it's easy to accidentally end up with one or more packages that build but can't be installed. We've seen this recently with linux-firmware [1]. Skimming through the recipes that set PACKAGESPLITFUNCS or PACKAGES_DYNAMIC or are otherwise known offenders, I've also picked out gstreamer1.0-plugins-*, kernel-modules, perl and python3 as recipes where it would be easy to end up with similar issues in the future.
