Here's except I found at http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/FirstProject 
which may relate.  I'm currently trying to get through some of their 
documentation myself.


        Adding Packages to an Image 

    This I found to be very obscure! There seems to be a peer
    relationship of the *task-bootstrap.bb* and *bootstrap-image.bb*.
    *bootstrap-image.bb* calls down to *task-bootstrap.bb* to get the
    recipies of the base system built. You would think that all you
    would have to do to add another package later is to add it to
    BOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_RDEPENDS? Not so!

    Adding the package name to BOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_RDEPENDS merely causes it
    to be built and packaged (.ipk), but it won't get added to the
    image! *bootstrap-image.bb* is a controlling recipe but it is
    *task-bootstrap.bb* that decides just what goes into that image.
    Strange, this caused me no end of removing the tmp directory and
    doing a fresh build just to add another package. :-(

    The solution is to rebuild the *task-bootstrap* package! When you
    add another package to BOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_RDEPENDS, merely run *bitbake
    -c rebuild task-bootstrap* and then do a *bitbake bootstrap-image*.
    It seems that *task-bootstrap* will build the collection (list) of
    what goes into the image, then *bootstrap-image**task-bootstrap*
    made. populates it from the list
