Merging libnss-dns-udeb and libnss-files-udeb back into libc6-udeb
Hi, For historical reason, disk space on boot floppies, the libnss_dns.so.2 and libnss_files.so.2 libraries are in separate udeb packages, namely libnss-dns-udeb and libnss-files-udeb. This is not the case of the deb package, where everything is in the libc6 package. In practice these libraries are really small by nowadays standards (22kB and 47kB uncompressed), and moreover libnss-dns-udeb is already included in all images. In addition these libraries are tightly coupled to the libresolv library which is in libc6-udeb. The recent CVE-2015-7547 has shown that, and Ubuntu hit a bug by having the two out of sync in their installer [1]. We would have got the same if debian-installer was pulling its udeb from debian-security. That's why I would like to propose to merge back libnss-dns-udeb and libnss-files-udeb back into libc6-udeb. The idea is to make libc6-udeb to provide them, it seems udpkg supports that. The only packages having a dependency on libnss-files-udeb are espeakup-udeb, rdnssd-udeb, open-iscsi and openssh-client-udeb, and none of them has a versioned dependency. None of the udeb have a dependency on libnss-files-udeb. Any opinion on that?

Re: own cloud task in tasksel?
Just a quick note (I'm on the go). EC2 images are *not* using the minbase variant since we need networking and all that other nifty stuff for the image to work. The only image that bootstrap-vz builds with minbase is docker.

Configuration of packages included in images made by bootstrap-vz are in the manifest file (eg manifests/official/ec2/...) for the image being generated.

As far as I know, all cloud images and probably all container images are using debootstrap at one moment or another. And as far as I understand, deboostrap installs by default all packages of priority Important or higher, but can be called with variant "minbase", wich causes it to only install packages of priority "Required", plus apt. (The variant "scratchbox" would not be useful since it installs build-essential as well). The Debian images on the Amazon cloud are of the "minbase" variant, and extra packages are added. (James, I lost track on where to find this information in the source code of bootstrap-vz, or on the Debian wiki, can you remind me the information ?) For the other cloud images, I am not familiar enough to be sure if they also use debootstrap's minbase variant or not. They will also install extra packages, some platform-specific, and some common with the other images. Part of the discussion was about making cloud and container images slimmer. Here, I think that the obvious next step is to make concrete proposals of which package should have their priority reduced to "Important". Part of the discussion was about what packages should be guaranteed to be present on every Debian cloud image. This is a more difficult question. Given the current discussion, I wonder if a list of common packages is really needed. Are there examples of problematic discrepancies ? (By the way, if the EC2 image would use a https mirror, then debootstrap would automatically install apt-transport-https.) Lastly, since packages of priority Important are not installed by default, I wonder what would be the easiest way to install them on the first boot, without having to grep /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages. Are there suggestions for a one-line command that would make a good self-documented UserData for cloud-init ?
