As the number of dependencies between packages get ever higher, it

to follow the lead of some of the Linux groups and have -runtime and
-devel versions of packages, OR we what woudlbe smarter, woudl be
to have several "sub manifests" to allow unpacking in different
environments.
A simple example: libxml2
This package installs include files and libraries and dicumentation
etc.
yet if I build an appliance , I want it to only install a singe file.
/usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2
What practical problem does installing the include files and man pages
cause you?
I have to delete them from the appliance I'm building up.
So I need to get the manifest, remove the files I want from it, and
delete every other file mentioned.
This is an appliance class machine. It has 2G of storage and that has
to include 2 copies for the OS so we can ping-pong for upgrades.
