what I understand from the bugzilla entry is that two features will be generated:

main.feature
    include main.plugin

main.sdk-feature
    include main.plugin
    include main-src.plugin

Correct ?

As I recall EPP did similar things and when it said it required main.feature
then when you tried installing main.sdk-feature then it would only allow one of them to be installed.

Maybe the problem was that only the latest -sdk feature was available so no matching setup found ?
