What would we lose by doing so? In general we install only the very
basics through the OS' native installer and then add everything we
need on top using lcitool, so it certainly sounds like it could make
sense to drop it...
It's an installation and config management tool. Obviously we don't need it for
installation, and I don't think we'll be using it for management within the VM.
I can try removing it and send a patch if there are no ill effects, but it will
have to wait until next week when I have some free time.
