Can you expand on what the higher level use case is that something is
using packagegroup-core-boot (or whatever), but also linux-dummy ?

It seems like this is going to hide misconfigurations .. since you may
want something bootable, but yet are not properly configured.

If there's part of that packagroup you need, why not split it up,
rather than masking the symptom seen here ?
