In section 6.1 in the embedded book, there's wording implying that
we'll be installing some packages more than once.  Although this is
true for regular LFS and CLFS, it's not true for the embedded book.

Also, some of the patches (uClibc and busybox) provide default
configurations rather than fixes, even though there are still patches
that provide fixes (busybox).

I've attached a patch that rewords 6.1 to reflect this.

Regards,
Andrew

Subject: [PATCH] Embedded book doesn't install same packages twice

The embedded book never installs the same package twice so some
of the wording in section 6.1 Introduction is not needed and
could be confusing.
