Thanks for your suggestion Lawrence. But I don't like it because it requires
an extra step and breaks the built-in task
doctrine:build-all-reload-test-all (because I need my views created between
DB build and tests).

Thanks to the tutorial published on symfony blog yesterday, I found a way to
get a more integrated solution, using the Event System.

In my project configuration I register a new listener on post_command event
(which is a built-in event of sfTask)
$this->dispatcher->connect('command.post_command', array('DatabaseInit',
'createViews'));

Then I have a hook to create my views exactly where I want:
class DatabaseInit {
  static public function createViews(sfEvent $event)  {
    if( $event->getSubject() instanceof sfDoctrineInsertSqlTask ) {
      // create views here
    }
  }
}
