Testing showed up some issues. I've addressed those and this code is now
as a bitbake branch at:

http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/log/?h=noupdatedata

This now builds ok on the autobuilder. There is a small issue with
bitbake-selftest, I've a patch pending to address that (its a minor
tweak).

I've also sent a few patches to OE-Core to address issues these changes
showed up which I believe are omissions in the metadata.

Cheers,

Richard
