I sort of having the same problem. I'm using opkg and angstrom.

I see in .../temp/log.do_rootfs
>>>
Installing angstrom-feed-configs (1.0-r16) on root.  
Downloading
file:.../deploy/ipk/colibri_imx6/angstrom-feed-configs_1.0-r16_colibri_imx6.ipk.
Removing package opkg from root...
<<<

Both opkg and angstrom-feed-configs bb files have:
RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "opkg-collateral"
RREPLACES_${PN} = "opkg-collateral"
RPROVIDES_${PN} = "opkg-collateral"

This has been the case also for opkg_0.2.4.bb (commit e8879cd1) but
somehow opkg_0.3.0.bb seems to have changed the reaction to that.

Commenting these in angstrom-feed-configs results in not removing opkg
in do_rootfs and the resulting image executes the postinstalls again.

If there are negative side effects (both opkg and angstrom-feed-configs
now install configuration files in /etc/opkg) I don't now yet. So I'm
unsure of the correct way forward.
