Yes, it will. You would need to clean and rebuild task-base because unlike the other methods the dependency gets built into a task package. This is one of the reasons you should not use DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS from local.conf - this is intended to be set from the distro configuration only. Please don't recommend this to be modified from local.conf - stick to CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL (or IMAGE_INSTALL_append, if you must).
