Are you using rpm? If you are, we already have ROOTFS_RPM_DEBUG variable 
which, if enabled, directs rpm to output a lot more to the log.do_rootfs 
than it normally would. Can you switch it on in your local.conf and see 
if you get what you need?

If the log still isn't verbose enough, please write a comment to this bug:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11096

explaining what kind of output from rpm would be useful to have, and we 
can patch rpm to do that.
