We never came back and decided on this
question.  I had asked, a while back,
if pam and xfree86 ought to get built as
part of phase2 (intermediate).  The
thinking was:

(a) it makes it easier to use the
intermediate as a testbed, for example
to go build devchk against the lsbsi
we can't use the phase3 (final), since
it has no build tools; currently we
also can't use phase2 because it doesn't
have everything required by the LSB.

(b) there's a chance that the support
for pam will be better in phase3 if
it's present when various packages are
configured - and configuration is done
against what's found in phase2.

However, I don't know if either of these
are "real" benefits and thus whether
it's worth adding to the build.

Thoughts?
