Hello,
Is it really necessary that we keep expanding the default package here
[1]?
The problem is, for example, that I don't need the whole AWS stuff.
But now the whole package gets installed.
If this is the case, then we should also install the vmware needed
driver as default package.
Maybe someone (like me) would like to run the image in a vmware
environment.
But I do not want to install this per default.
I think this are all special image.
Therefore it would be a good idea to create individual images.
For example
* define Device/aws
* define Device/vmware
Also, binary blobs are currently already get installed as a dependency
that the default drivers work.
Therefore I have changed the line before this change as following.
So no binary blob dependency gets installed.
I am also not clear why we need kmod-bnx2, kmod-forcedeth and kmod-r8169
as default, which have the binary blob dependency.

From my point of view, these are the minimum packets needed to make the
generic image to work.
