try adjust the order of the PACKAGES variant. Something like:
PACKAGES = "${PN}-bar ... ${PN}"
FILES_${PN}-bar = "/etc/foo/bar"
FILES_${PN} = "/etc/foo"
That SHOULD package the file 'bar' in -bar, and the directory in ${PN}.
(Some of the people commenting this isn't less then optimal, actually it's not
that unusual.. Typical case I see is creating a directory in /var or /usr/share
for datafiles and the main package owns the directory, with sub-packages [or
other packages] contributing data into that directory.)
