It all really depends on what features you want. Some of the more  
basic packages in syspkgs are quite large, so my PICO image, where I  
only wanted /sbin/init and /bin/sh ended up being several MB because  
syspkgs pulls in all of /bin and /sbin. The contents of the syspkgs  
can be rearranged, I noticed that the firmware files got put into  
their own syspkgs package recently.

I'll soon be implementing the ability to trim individual files from  
packages, but using that to remove all but one file from a package  
doesn't seem right to me.
