We have ca 20 packages that use dpkg-raw, split more or less
equally between configuration, scripts and some pre-built
binaries. The conflicts/replaces is used in a couple of
configuration packages. We are also porting recipes from a
previous version that was using "plain yocto", so it is easier if
we can just use RDEPENDS, RPROVIDES, etc. Personally I would
prefer to use dpkg over dpkg-raw everywhere, but other colleagues
find dpkg-raw easier.
