Just in case others run into this:

While the official syntax is now "mc:", bitbake still stupports 
"multiconfig:" as compat solution. Well, except you actually provide 
multiple configs: Only the first entry seems to be properly converted to 
"mc:" internally, and all other targets will fail the build...

So, we need to switch completely in downstream multiconfig projects as 
well (so far I only know of jailhouse-images). The required kas change 
is submitted, will require a new release there, though.
