Digging a bit more, I discovered multiple culprits in the image closure size. * "openssh" is dragging "xauth" which drags some X libraries (but this does not account for much). * "sudo" is dragging "python" for about 100MiB. * "info-reader" is dragging "perl" (and is in fact the same size as "texinfo" because of a mistake that I introduced with 614a1e3fa2d731d4719f03912b1b87fb4fd309cb) for about 100MiB. * The switch to non-canonical version of "glibc" and "coreutils" to fix system cross-compilation in dfc8ccbf5da96a67eb1cade499f0def21e7fdb02 is also responsible for about 100MiB. All in all, fixing all of this makes the closure size to drop below 1GiB which is already a good first step. I'll try to provide patches soon. Thanks, Mathieu
