Perfect, that worked.

Technically, this isn't a Yocto image recipe per se, but a general 
recipe for processing some file which happens to have the name "image" 
in it. The naming was perhaps a little misleading.

Notice that this recipe does not disable the default tasks, so all of 
them run, including do_configure. What I learned after some 
experimentation is that DEPENDS seems to works fine if you place your 
custom tasks after the do_configure tasks:

     addtask do_spu_rootfs before do_build after do_compile

This construct seems to work even if you disable the confiugre task with 
do_configure[noexec]="1"

But agreed, this works because of the implicit dependency on 
do_populate_* by do_compile. Setting the dep explicitly with the 
"longhand" format is more robust.
