With that being said you sometimes want to avoid the opposite too. On this patchset i've found there are many of the big packages required (and needed fixing) to get a nice (no warnings or error messages) booting system with the default skeleton, OTOH: coreutils, util-linux, some shell (bash), sysvinit, sysklogd, linux-pam (inherent for util-linux). And with those we still get a warning from util-linux's hostname not being feature complete (oh the irony, busybox hostname is, we need net-tools to replace it). And we're still lacking ifup/ifdown :) Regards.
