Well, that would work, obviously, but seemed like a bad style to me, we have 
DEPENDS for recipe dependencies, so why images should be that different? And 
in my case it would be

do_rootfs[depends] += "image2:do_rootfs image3:do_rootfs image4:do_rootfs \
	image5:do_rootfs"

compared to

DEPENDS += "image2 image3 image4 image5"

which worked well for quite some time.

If there is any way to keep this DEPENDS behaviour?
