It's useful in terms of having a RPM-based manifest of what's on
the image, and if you're installing the image to disk, you're going
to need it on the installed system...
I don't really want to propose dropping the rpm db.
I merely stated those numbers to give some perspective on what takes up
how much space on the live image.
