It's still a little hackish as so far it's really just been written for me..

"base packages"
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/var/pkg_list.sh
AKA: everything needed for network access/debuging for a console
system..  They are split into discrete groups, just disable what you
don't need..

"chroot packages"
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L192
Without these the "chroot" will fail and you'll never get a final image...

"firmware packages"
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L276
not everyone needs them..

You can disable them globally via:
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L326

"bb.org/x11/lxde packages"
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L39
I'm still fine tunning these for the "final" image..

Finally the "bb.org" script
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L328

which runs, this sets up everything "custom" for the bb.org image..
(non generic stuff.)
https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/chroot_script/beagleboard.org.sh

If you want "supper minimal" aka git in lessthen 64MB there's a couple
switches for that..
