Huh. I could swear I've done that before and it worked. In any case, it is
_certainly_ working with appliance-creator right now. :)

This actually opens up another axis, here, so we could have one standard for
mandatory packages (kernel+init, or up-to-yum+net) and a second level for
default (up-to-yum+net, +ssh,cron,etc). Even without a UI exposed, the
distinction between mandatory and deselectable is huge for kickstart, which
I think is common for _most_ of our use cases.
