The files are in tmp/work/.../foo_1.0-r1/packages-split/foo, and also in
tmp/work/.../foo_1.0-r1/image, and the package is listed in that text
file. And the logs show no errors.

This smells like one of those situations where nuking tmp and rebuilding
will fix it, and we'll never know what was wrong. I'll let you know if
that fixes it.
