The three main items in the manifest which can be changed to mold a
distro (other than names and build areas), seems to me, are the package
list, the bootroot files list and the finalizer script entries.
Placing of this signpost implies that the finalizer script list isn't
frequently modified. Do you think this is accurate?
Thanks,
