I'm not sure either. For now, this series focuses on updating the dependencies
for the recent PDF additions. Optimizing this list will require more work, and
is related to an open bug on bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14873).

I'm trying to get a clean base and a helper container script in to make this
easier for me and others to do this (adding/removing things from the list).

But I will definitely go back to your comments as you are indeed pointing out
things that might be unneeded now, indeed.

You're right, I guess I mixed things up with the Ubuntu instructions. I think
initially I wanted to provide a common base for all distros but it's not a good
idea. I'll revert this and keep the same content as in the previous instructions.

No, must be a mistake from me.
