Fair enough -- just thought it would speed up things.

I meant that your patches started to fail in CI, see e.g.
http://ci.isar-build.org:8080/job/isar_ibr_devel_2_fast/12/consoleFull. The
build succeeds, but start_vm fails due to init dying.

The problem seems to be that Debian doesn't support operating without /usr
anymore. We can fix it by saving a backup of the image before generating one
without /usr -- I'll send the updated patch.

My suggestion would be to exclude one of /srv /media instead of /usr. Since those

might not be critical for the system to boot.

I'd be ready to apply this with the modification above. I see that the wic
series also touches this part but doesn't include the CI patch. What would be
the preferred way?

1. Apply this, rework the wic series, OR

We could apply this and I can rework the wic series based on this.

2. Include the CI patch in the wic series and apply that.

Right now we are testing only --exclude-path which this series adds support for.

For a comprehensive wic test, I was thinking to have a custom wks file which would

have most of the options exercised and we could use some tools to validate whether the

final image is as expected. It is something in my pipeline. Will try to work on it and send a patch

as early as possible.
