When we discussed it on IRC the other day I thought we had consensus that we should do this more automatically, including all dependencies, and having a way to specify one or more packages as a "baseline" that can be assumed to be installed.
This is what I have implemented (at least the tricky part of), and it makes the most sense to me. Yes, it will make the hwpacks larger, but you were wanting to have hwpacks that can be used to bisect, and the only way to do that reliably is to include more packages.
I've now finished the implementation of this, so we need a package (or list of packages) that we can assume are installed on all images, and the hardware pack will not include any of those debs (though it won't prevent installation on images without them.)
Could you provide this?
Note that the package has to be available in the sources specified for the hardware pack, therefore something in the overlay PPA won't work for things built from just the ubuntu archive. In that case we either need to add the extra source, or pick packages in Ubuntu.
Thanks,
