Adding variable names to the variable PACKAGE_EXTRA_PKGDATA allows including this variables in the pkgdata file of a package.
For example PACKAGE_EXTRA_PKGDATA = "MACHINE" will add the MACHINE variable to pkgdata. These fields can be used later in the process by some custom package processing for example during image creation.
