syslinux: this is already installed, but only through a dependency.
syslinux is essential to build a bootable image. So this should be
explicitly listed and not just as a dependency.
fatresize (10 KB): allows to resize FAT filesystems. Helpful for
example when you have to grow a EFI System Partition because it
ran out of space.
kexec-tools (70 KB): allows to directly boot into a given kernel +
initramfs without going through the BIOS or bootloader before.
Useful when the bootloader is broken, you can't immediately fix
it but want to boot the original system.
moreutils (about 200k): several small shell utilities
I want to use lckdo for improving mountall. Also ts is helpful when you have a
datastream (like from a serial console) and add timestamps to it. But there are
more helpful utils in there.

python-pythondialog (about 60k): allows to easily use python to create
simple shell UIs, based on the "dialog" utility (like used for example in setkmap).
I want to use it to create menus to be used with autoterminal.

Do not include the firmware for Q-Logic Fibrechannel/Infiniband HBA firmware anymore,
as it is a similar category as the Mellanox firmware which is already not included
for some time without anyone complaining. This saves about 12 MB space on the ISO.
Implements #256
-d option for build.sh
Regular build: 3m49s for 684M ISO
Devel build: 46s for 857M ISO
-> 80% reduction of build time in devel mode
(measured just on my devel vm, not on a broad set of hardware)
This allows to add additional CAs as trust anchors via the root key
"ca-trust" in the YAML config files.
Why is this helpful and can't be done for example with SRMs?
After the CA files are copied, "update-ca-trust" must be called. This
updates *all* ca trust files. This means your SRM will override all
trust files with the ones used when creating the SRM.
When you then use the SRM with a newer version of SystemRescue, you will
still use the old ca trust files from when the SRM was built.
