dev-manual: Applied review comments to "Packaging Externally Produced Binaries"
Fixes [YOCTO #10392] Moved the last bullet item from the list that was about DEPENDS to a note form above the list. This was done because the stuff for DEPENDS is more general. (From yocto-docs rev: 2879d97b14322f1f9495288fc7f2298a186c5f68) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
