For me, it makes preparing the runqueue at least twice as fast (from ~2 
to ~1 second for a small console image, ~14 to ~6 for something with X11).

My task dependencies look identical before and after the patch, except 
for the new harmless <image>.do_rootfs -> 
<image>.do_package_write_deb,do_populate_staging that you wrote about at 
the start of the thread.

Now if only "Resolving any missing task queue dependencies" were a 
little faster :) That part's running about 40 seconds for me on a large 
image.
