7 That is actually largely defined today already, but it isn't used by
8 anything but catalyst as far as I'm aware. Just look at
9 packages.build in your profile, such as default/linux/packages.build.

11 Granted, even that contains a few convenience packages like
12 virtual/editor (I'm not sure about virtual/shadow either, though that
13 might be needed). That is probably to make it easier to troubleshoot
14 stage1 issues. I bet that the stage1 used by catalyst is very close
15 to a minimal bootstrap though.
