on current linux distros, what are potential candidates for ASSUME_PROVIDED?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

  for the sake of reducing build time in the classroom, what are some
of the potential (and relatively safe) candidates to add to
ASSUME_PROVIDED for a build from scratch?

  i do recall that, once one starts adding more native packages to
that variable, QA becomes an issue but, given a modern distro such as
fedora 21, surely there are quite a number of packages that are safe
to add.

  the first thing i always add is "subversion-native" (since i don't
think subversion is even *used* in a core-image-minimal build, but i
could be wrong). i'm looking through all the -native builds and can
see other possible candidates i'm going to try -- open to suggestions
as to what should be safe, and i'll test it out.
