There are a few ways to go about this I'm sure. What I've done is either:

1) Create a layer with .bbappend for the image
2) Create your own image recipe

For example, the following recipes create a new image,
poky-image-dvhart (as well as a live version), and add dropbear, 
trace-cmd, and kernelshark to the list of packages installed.


$ cat poky-image-dvhart.bb
#
# Copyright (C) 2010 Intel Corporation.
#
require recipes-core/images/poky-image-minimal.bb
IMAGE_INSTALL += "dropbear trace-cmd kernelshark"
LICENSE = "MIT"



$ cat poky-image-dvhart-live.bb
DESCRIPTION = "Bootable Live Image"
require recipes-core/images/poky-image-live.inc
LABELS += "boot install"
ROOTFS = "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/poky-image-dvhart-${MACHINE}.ext3"
LICENSE = "MIT"
do_bootimg[depends] += "poky-image-dvhart:do_rootfs"
