  bitbake --help would the first place to consult. --dry-run,
--verbose, --graphviz swicthes would be of primary interest. And yes,
bitbake still doesn't provide enough insight into its internal
functioning. Patches to improve that (given they cover broad usecases)
would be welcome by Bitbake maintainers, I guess.
