[OE-core] i guess there's no way to *conditionally* add tasks?

I solved similar issues by including files conditionally; e.g. above
would be

---
ptest_inc = "${@['noop', 'ptest'][d.getVar('PTEST_ENABLED', True) == '1']}"
include ptest-${ptest_inc}.inc

--- ptest-ptest.inc ---
addtask configure_ptest_base after do_configure before do_compile
addtask compile_ptest_base   after do_compile   before do_install
addtask install_ptest_base   after do_install   before do_package
do_populate_sysroot
