Reverting is perfectly sane if and only if setup is ordered before
all other packages always.

Installing setup (for password lookup) isn't close to being true for any modern linux distro, and
(last I looked) was particularly bad in  Mandriva based systems, with large numbers
of dependency loop's.

Short answer:
	It simply does not matter whether you have combined setup+filesystem
	or separate setup and filesystem packages.
