Hello.
Today I discovered that libreoffice wants to install a dozen new
dependencies. I understand that this is probably due to some
modularization effort but I don't have a scanner and I don't plan to,

That leaves the only reasonable solution as #2. In terms of minimal
impact, I propose that we offer users with a static system an absolutely
minimal initramfs, that _just_ mounts the required directories. No

In point of fact all modern Linux kernels have an initramfs built in

Historically those DIRs contained all utils/tools to manage the system
and fix problems etc. when you are unable to get /usr up, i.e. when it's
remote. The rootfs basically contained all the core system-tools minus
all the apps, which usually were managed centrally.
With bbox of course one could
