Well, this question is not directly related to the original topic,
IMHO. There're already ways to do that, including multiple. See
initramfs-minimal-image.bb (installs only explicitly selected
packages, doesn't even pull their dependencies) and
initramfs-bootmenu-image.bb (force-removes known unneeded packages).
I'll intend to generalize postprocess commands from the latter, making
them "OE-global" (like zap_root_password) for easier reuse.
