Sorry, this doesn't seem to be true - it still has problems either way.

The only way I've been able to get this to work at all is by changing SRC_URI
   SRC_URI += "\
       file://my_script \
   "
No other form seems to work.

A follow up problem is that my script gets installed, but doesn't seem to be
packaged.   I get a warning:
   WARNING: For recipe base-files, the following files were installed but not shipped in any package:
   WARNING:   my_script
I thought that this line in the main recipe should include my file:
   FILES_${PN} = "/"
How do I get my script to be included?

Note: this is becoming such a pain, I'll probably just write a special recipe
for it even though I think it makes sense to do it like I've been attempting...
