In any case, looking over the variety of dependencies in initscripts, I've
removed a few:

- syslog - this isn't *required*, as the system boots without it
- mount (as it's provided by util-linux-ng)
- popt (runtime library, should never have been listed)
- e2fsprogs (anaconda will install the proper FS utilities for the root
  filesystem)

So, the next release in rawhide will be better.
