Yeah: if we get to the point where every real install has to add the same
subset of packages to core, I don't think we've succeeded in doing anything
except make more work for the whole world.

A cron daemon and (at least basic) MTA fall in the same area, I think.
But what about ssh-clients?

Is there a reasonable yardstick rule we can make, or is it pragmatically
best to just make per-package decisions?
