There were multiple issues here:

* Duplicate file overlap in DEPLOY_DIR/sdk causing build failures
* Overlap of the DEPLOYDIR namespace breaking builds (between 
  do_image_complete, do_populate_sdk and do_populate_sdk_ext but could 
  potentially conflict with a do_deploy task added to an image too)
* Breakage of do_populate_sdk_ext since it calls do_populate_sdk
* No sstate coverage of do_populate_sdk_ext
* no cleandirs on do_populate_sdk DEPLOYDIR

I've a revised patch set I'll test which addresses these issues.

Cheers,

Richard
