The workflow here would be to produce another metalayer (meta-emcraft for 
example) containing another packagegroup-qte-toolchain-target.bbappend file, 
which would contain the RDEPENDS_${PN} += "foo bar baz" . This is how all this 
metalayer stuff is supposed to work -- you're not supposed to modify the layers 
you receive, but instead you produce your own and contain your adjustments in 
it.
