re order: how? You've still got to collect all the packages with
this special define and run them right? You're still going to get
conflicts one way or the other.

re control: how?  How is this:

```Your new way
package/blah/overlay
    $(CP) wop /etc/somewhere
endef

any different from this

```The old way that was removed
package/blah/install
    $(CP) wop /etc/somewhere
endef
```
