bootstrap_packages.arch
=======================
All packages to be installed into the environment of a bootstrap image have to be listed in an architecture specific
file (e.g. ``bootstrap_packages.x86_64``), which resides top-level in the profile.
Packages have to be listed one per line. Lines starting with a ``#`` and blank lines are ignored.
This file is required when generating bootstrap images using the ``bootstrap`` build mode.
packages.arch

``packages.x86_64``), which resides top-level in the profile.
