1GB of packages needed for netclient?

[chriskreuzberger]

Dear netclient Team,

I wanted to test the netclient in a ubuntu minimal 20.04 lxd container, but was surprised that
the client would depend on the following packages, requiring 1gb of disk space:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
amd64-microcode busybox-initramfs cpio grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common
initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-core intel-microcode iptables iucode-tool libdbus-glib-1-2 libevdev2 libgudev-1.0-0
libimobiledevice6 libip6tc2 libnetfilter-conntrack3 libnfnetlink0 libnftnl11 libplist3 libpolkit-agent-1-0
libupower-glib3 libusb-1.0-0 libusbmuxd6 libxml2 linux-firmware linux-image-5.4.0-1026-iot linux-image-iot
linux-modules-5.4.0-1026-iot netclient os-prober policykit-1 thermald upower usbmuxd
0 upgraded, 37 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 217 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1056 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Is this really required?
As the client is also working on openwrt for example, I wonder if the dependencies could be somehow reduced, to
be able to provide a lightweight package.

Thanks & kind regards,
Chris
