Where do you add your recipe's generated packages to the image, this 
could be in your custom image with an RDEPENDS or via something in 
local.conf like CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL_append = " <packagename>".

Do you have other recipes that DEPEND or RDEPEND on your recipe?

That might point you in the right direction.
