My concern is for recipes defined outside oe-core that pull in "tzdata". Do we just mention this in the release notes and leave people to manually update their dependencies if they require a minimal image size?

If we go this route we should define a new "tzdata-minimal" package which contains what's currently in "tzdata".

I also think Otavio has the right idea on calculating the dependency list dynamically so we don't have to update it for any future change to PACKAGES in this recipe.
