Task2
task_dep: Task1

Is there a way to create a dependency/uptodate, (without resorting to input/target files), in which Task2 is always considered NOT uptodate if Task1 had to run?

Yes. result_dep (http://pydoit.org/uptodate.html#result-dependency)

If Task1 doesnt produce any result that could be used, just return a timestamp!

Note that as of doit 0.26 result_dep creates an implicit `task_dep` but on 0.27 it will create an implicit `setup`.
