Tracing the rootfs generation it proves to be opkg-cl rewritting status file.

Before the first 'opkg-cl install' the status file contains the
information about the bad recommendations but after it installs the
package_linguas, in package_install_internal_ipk then status has no
bad recommendated packages on it.
