My top level recipe uses IMAGE_INSTALL to add a bunch of packages, including
one whose name matches the name of the recipe that's being processed but
whose output is being ignored. This is exactly what I did in a different
Yocto project, to get a similar recipe to install some similar files, and it
all worked fine. 

I've attached the top level recipe and the problematic one, only changing
the project name to "foo" for proprietary reasons.
