btw, for about a week i was playing with removing even more utils by using busybox. But kept running into issues: (current list) https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder/blob/master/scripts/chroot.sh#L502 I'm hoping later versions of busybox/toybox could helps us create a debian image that's even smaller..
