I'm not really into this but you seem to just undo the goal. The goal for 
"micro" is to be as small as possible, so it is trying to reduce the size of 
every package in a way or another. For base-files it means to install less 
files.

Now the question we should ask could be:
	- Why is what I'm trying to build breaking and how can I fix it without
          blowing up "micro" to be full featured again.
