[RFC 0/2] Remove Packages during Postprocessing

["Q. Gylstorff" <Quirin.Gylstorff@siemens.com>]

From: Quirin Gylstorff <quirin.gylstorff@siemens.com>

Some packages even if the are part of minbase are not necessary
to run a debian system. Debian has some issues and experiments
to remove packages from minbase [1]. This feature allows a
expert user to remove packages from the final image during post
processing.

The reason for this are e.g. disk usage reduction and reduction
of the clearing effort.

The method to remove packages in postprocessing is a best-effort
action.

Another way would be to identify like [1] packages in
minbase which can be removed without compremising the isar rootfs
creation and remove them directly after or during bootstrapping.
If a package is used for a production related feature it should be
reinstalled.
