+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ update-rc.d
+ base-passwd
+ shadow
+ update-alternatives
+ run-postinsts

+ <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>, since they might
+ still be needed for a read-write image even in the absence
+ of a package manager (e.g. if users need to be added,
+ modified, or removed at runtime).
