The autobuilder actually does that, the minimal image is just tested
with the small number of non-network tests. The main thing was to test
it does actually boot to a login prompt. We have other tests which test
the other areas with other images.

The reason for the above is that there will be ptest openssh images
which conflict with the dropbear ones. You can likely avoid that by
using:

IMAGE_FEATURES:append:pn-core-image-minimal =  " ssh-server-dropbear"

The ptest images are designed to only include the ptest in question so
in theory are otherwise as minimal as the dependencies allow.
