Actually my comment there is wrong. Currently update-guestfs-appliance builds
a supermin appliance, so the packages have to be installed on the host system
in order for febootstrap-supermin-helper to grab the right files.
However two things:
(1) febootstrap-supermin-helper skips files it doesn't find (this is intentional).
So you can have optional bits of appliance. Although it gets pretty hairy.
(2) Could use libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance instead and build a real appliance.
