Paul Eggleton just gave a response to a similar question "Force install package last"

If I understand you correctly, that would be a patch.  For "unchecked" whole replacement of files, I've seen bbappends with a do_patch_append function to copy files (specified individually in SRC_URI like patch files) from the base of the work dir to the correct path under the source directory.
