Yeah, I suppose we can get away with quite a lot of that. The fixed
per-layer disk overhead of each squashfs looks like it's on the order of
4M (/var/lib/dpkg/status + /var/lib/apt/extended_states), which is not
large in the grand scheme. And since we know this layer would be used

Pros:
- installing them in the squashfs is faster than installing them at build time
- if we believe they should always be installed, it simplifies the installer
logic
- except that we're also converging on a single installer code base, so it
doesn't simplify things too much to have it in
