Yes, but:

1.  I don't think package-index is image specific ... its just a list of
everything that has been bitbaked on the box (which doesn't equate to one
particular image ... it's the net of all the packages from all the images
that have been built thus far if I'm not mistaken ... it main use is so the
feeds work and the the target know what packages are available).
2.  I felt like this was probably something common and a way already
existed so I thought I should ask in case I missed something before I
wasted time re-inventing the wheel.

Based on the responses so far ... it looks like this might not be as common
a request as I thought!
