And there is this proposal to reduce the amount of compression libraries: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/1396Actually, since RPM now uses `rpmuncompress` to extract the archives, it could also make sense to e.g. extract this utility into separate sub-package and move the extraction utilities out from the @buildsys-build. That would not reduce the the buildroot size at first, but get the dependencies to the right place for the start.

Out of this list, I see only three candidates for removal:
1. info. This is presumably present for /usr/sbin/install-info.
It's a small package (360kB) and probably not worth the hassle to
remove. On my system, 472 rpms provide info files, and if we remove
it from the default set, we'd need to patch a huge amount of
packages to add it back to make the builds work.
2. util-linux. This could be replaced by util-linux-core. This
has a bunch of deps too, so it'd save some. util-linux has 95
binaries, and while _most_ of them have little use in a constrained
build environment, probably a few are used somewhere. So this
would need some investigation.
3. shadow-utils. It was added in:
commit 79e1728c1b9e9e98d2e38b1286d90d596f233a56
Author: Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Jan 15 15:31:27 2008 +0000
Make sure shadow-utils makes it into a buildroot, or else mock will fail
It's been a while, and I doubt we actually need it. Maybe we could
drop that?
