When we discussed it on IRC the other day I thought we had consensus that we should do this more automatically, including all dependencies, and having a way to specify one or more packages as a "baseline" that can be assumed to be installed. This is what I have implemented (at least the tricky part of), and it makes the most sense to me. Yes, it will make the hwpacks larger, but you were wanting to have hwpacks that can be used to bisect, and the only way to do that reliably is to include more packages.
