Even if you do this in bitbake itself, what happens if two tasks want to
run last before do_build? Which do you choose?

My thoughts are that we need to improve the way we specify tasks to be
able to specify this kind of relationship more accurately. Even the
form:

addtask rm_work before do_build after do_package_write do_deploy

where the tasks might not always exist might be enough to get things
working?
