yeah, the satsolver lacks an explain mode. With 11.0 I even have 70 packages
installed :)

For 11.0 at least bundle-lang-common-en is installed to provide these:
 util-linux-lang, cpio-lang, coreutils-lang

Which is a wise decision because coreutils-lang alone is 1MB, while
bundle-lang-common-en is 119K

So which of the other 59 packages do you think is not necessary? Remember that
is the initial list of dependencies of kernel-default:

coreutils
awk
module-init-tools
perl-Bootloader
mkinitrd

Greetings, Stephan
