Richard, Thanks for the response. It would certainly help if there were some real documentation on bitbake. I tried playing around with setting the undocumented "deps" and "postdeps" flags (which is what "addtask" seems to modify as well as _BBTASKS), but I couldn't get it to delete a task. Part of the problem stems from OpenEmbedded's stealing the base bbclass. This bbclass is always inherited (you can't seem to avoid that) and the version supplied by bitbake itself is fairly simple and one would be hardpressed to find a reason not to inherit it, but the one that comes with OpenEmbedded is much more complicatated and adds several tasks that are not right for everyone. I guess my best solution is to rename OpenEmbedded's base bbclass as something like oebase.bbclass and let Bitbake's base.bbclass be the one used as the true base.
By the way, I see recdeptask described in the manual, but can't find any reference to it in the code. I also see uses of a bbdepcmd flag for tasks in OpenEmbedded's base.bbclass. What, if anything, does this do?

At present there is no such option... I'd expect its usually enough to modify a task so its no longer in the dependency chain although we probably don't have a mechanism to do that in all cases at the moment either :(.
