I did a dry run again from scratch, and watched the output, I see now 
that if linux_base-8 is not there, it will add it as a dependency. Then 
dynamically mount linprocfs when needed, I assume? (although I kept 
watching mount and dmesg, and I didn't see any indication that linprocfs 
got mounted during the build).

At any rate, it works and this is way cool. Much simpler installation 
procedures.

Thanks.
