A simple way to diagnose if your package is even in the install list is to do 
bitbake -e <image>, then scan the output for "PACKAGE_INSTALL".  If your package 
is not listed there, then something has either cleared your configuration or you 
have a typo.

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " my_package" should work, and generally won't be cleared 
by a recipe.

(Note you should modify IMAGE_INSTALL, which is transformed by the system into 
PACKAGE_INSTALL... modifying PACKAGE_INSTALL can lead to problems.)
