What I had suggested at one point was we have an 'image-base' group that
is *really* tiny, that is intended to be used as a basis for creating
images, chroot, and other things where you're not necessarily doing package
management *on the running system*.

So it would be:
kernel
systemd
initscripts
util-linux
bash

and their dependencies.
