Yes, this is a kernel limitation on the length of the command line passed to
it on boot.

No...it's just one of many possible workarounds.  In general, however, all
workarounds will involve storing additional information somewhere OTHER than
the kernel command line, and using that information to load the required
packages.  David D's Oxygen will load all packages it finds in particular
directories by default, IIRC.

I'm considering making something like a "loadmore.lrp" package, which would
run after some of the rcS.d scripts (specifically, after the full filesystem
gets mounted), and install additional packages at that time, but I have many
bugs to squash first...
