I'll keep that in mind perhaps if/when I cycle over back over to this.
A packagegroup that says to use busybox isn't what comes to mind when I
want to not have busybox on my image, and so failed out in some of my
earlier local iterations on this when I did a hard blacklist on busybox
and then went off to fixup the fall-out.

I'd also argue that packagegroup both includes "extra" stuff (mc) and
misses other stuff (less).  And I know patches are welcome, so it's on
my TODO list :)
