Thanks, I've been rather busy the last few weeks...

No, the report includes all enabled packages. And it includes all
dependencies and for images like the rootfs, all packages that are used to
build the image. With all that information available in one place, it
rather easy to limit what to use.

I've seen the new version and really prefer the Python scripts for that
kind of thing. Ist a lot more flexible. For example I'm pretty sure that
most of the ignore list can by automatically generated by looking at the
package (Does it have a URL?). Doing stuff like that in the Makefile is
painful.
