My gripe with this is that it makes people have to download/install
these packages twice.  Once to get anaconda on the system in order to
run the scripts, or pungi, and then once again to create the mini chroot
that anaconda uses to stage stuff in before putting things in yet a
different chroot.  The second install doesn't use the same caching as
the first install, so you wind up downloading things multiple times.

I don't know a good way around this :/
