Packages installed after container creation are not editable

How would you specify a list of additional packages to be installed?

The current method to accomplish something similar to this is just to build a bash script containing several commands that looks something like this:

    #!/bin/bash

    libertine-container-manager create -i mycontainer ...
    libertine-container-manager install-package -i mycontainer -p mypackage
    libertine-container-manager install-package -i mycontainer -p mypackage

Unless I'm much mistaken, that method only takes a single package as an argument and also lists them on the Libertine app. The default packages already being installed by default are low-level helper packages, and the ones I want to add, and envision others would, are for the same reason. I wouldn't want any fonts listed in the app.

Anyway, my point is, maybe just take the list of packages automatically installed as variable exposed in a separate config file. The defaults in a global config, and user-specific files in /home/.

To be precise, extra packages could be specified in the following ways.

(1) through a file specified as an argument to a switch on the libertine-container-manager command line, said file containing one package name per line

(2) through an entry in a (new, optional) configuration file ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/libertine

Installation of these extra user-specified packages would take place in a phase after the container is created. Errors in installation are reported and ignored so that processing of the list can continue until the end is reached.

Could you elaborate on the second option? Nobody on #ubuntu-libertine
mentioned it.
