I think the question is whether it's possible to skip the
<base>Minimal</base> part, and explicitly state every package that you
want installed.

Short answer, I don't think so...and you're just going to end up with
the entire Minimal set anyway.  There might be a couple of packages that
aren't necessary, but almost everything in that set is necessary if
you're going to end up with a bootable install.
