Description ulfalizer 2016-08-02 20:31:56 UTC 
The current version is slightly redundant and makes BPN sound a bit more complicated than it is. Here's a suggested new version:

  BPN:
    This variable is a version of the PN variable with common prefixes and suffixes
    removed, such as nativesdk-, -cross, -native, and multilib's lib64- and lib32-.
    The exact lists of prefixes and suffixes removed are specified by the MLPREFIX
    and SPECIAL_PKGSUFFIX variables, respectively.

Cheers,
Ulf
