In Well, for a resource-restricted embedded system it has never been a good idea to install complete packages with all the (potention) dependencies these may pull in.

Probably not - when you insist on installing whole packages (which makes little or no sense on a resource-restricted system.

This is always an option - but even then, you don;t want to install the whole packages either.
