What you use in poky-contrib isn't particularly important. What matters
is when the patches come for merging on bitbake-devel, they state the
area they touch (often toaster:) but not "bitbake:" since in the bitbake
repo that is somewhat pointless. When these merge back to poky, the
bitbake prefix is automatically added.

Cheers,
