Using package installation as configuration is quite bizarre.
Wasn't there a specific policy that installation and configuration
are two different things?
"You installed httpd, ok, so you have the stuff on your disk, but that
does not mean it will run at next reboot, you have to configure and
activate it explicitly".
Well, because the initramfs was built in the %posttrans-action of the
installation, pulling in the configuration to build a different kind of
initramfs seemed the easiest way of doing kickstarts for me.
This was done to avoid building the initramfs twice.
