[poky] bitbake -g dependencies: resolve virtual targets?

Hi,

When debugging some dependency issues under a Yocto-2.2 based distro, I 
ran
into the problem that the .dot files generated by "bitbake -g" contain
unresolved virtual package references, like "virtual/kernel".

These virtuals do not appear in any left hand side.  E.g. package 
"whatever-0.1"
depends on "virtual/kernel", but that itself isn't listed anywhere in 
the
graph; instead, the concrete kernel recipe which that virtual denotes is
listed, like "linux-yocto-3.18". Thus there is a disconnect in the 
graph.

Is there a way to get the real graph, with all virtuals resolved?
