In fact, that is the reason I want those two lines above. I know it is not
nice. :-(

 From my point of view, base-files and base-passwd is so important and basic
that they should be installed at very beginning. Almost all packages should
R-depends on them, so can we find a method to install them at very beginning
thus avoid adding "DEPENDS" in those bb files?
