I think you could probably fix do_install by wrapping it in a python
method.  That is, something along the lines of:

python do_wrapped_install() {
	os.umask(022)
	bb.build.exec_func("install", d)
}
addtask wrapped_install after do_compile

and, obviously, remove the existing addtask for do_install.  You get the
idea, anyway.

For do_package and other tasks which come from classes within oe-core
itself, I continue to think that the right answer is just to fix the
classes to do the right thing.
