Description

I was the one suggesting @bergzand to set PSEUDOMODULES in his libcose package Makefile.include while developing so he would not need to modify the other RIOT files.

I also thought it could be the occasion to ask if it is something we may want to do for packages as they already provide Makefile.include and Makefile.dep

As it has been merged, it is even more important to ask the question.

I plan to do a PR to also allow having a Makefile.include and Makefile.dep for EXTERNAL_MODULE_DIRS. So these directories would need to do this also.

Question

For packages, do we want to set the PSEUDOMODULES variables in the package Makefile.include instead of the centralized file ?

I would like to have your feedback and arguments if you are against.

Next steps

Depending on the result, either, change the libcose package, or add documentation saying that it's possible and wanted, a comment at the bottom of pseudomodules.inc.mk and update packages accordingly.
