This may be teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but I'll point
it out anyway:

You can get the inital package out by running

update mypkg

on all your machines. If you've got ssh/rsh set up for remote
management then this can be done easily.

The whole dummy package thing works very well. I actually
tag stuff in a "york_ssh" package (since we use ssh.com's
ssh not openssh and I want it on all our machines) and tag
dependencies from that.

That ends up containing a fairly small list of packages - I build
machines using kickstart and a customised package list to start
with.
