Libguestfs - Nov 2016 - Re: [PATCH] packagelist: add initviocons package on SUSE

initviocons package provides tools to resize the terminal. Having it
in the appliance will allow SUSE users to have proper line wrapping
in their terminal when using virt-rescue.

This patch is fine, ACK.

I don't know if you're doing this already, but in Fedora we split up
the appliance dependencies like this:

 
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libguestfs.git/tree/libguestfs.spec#n992

If you install the 'libguestfs-rescue' subpackage, you get the extra
dependencies (iputils, lsof, etc) added to virt-rescue.  If not, there
are fewer dependencies.

We aren't doing that yet. May be we'll need to come up with something in
that vein
sooner or later.
