I noticed that the installer has nano, zile and nvi, but %base-packages
has nano and zile. I also saw that the installer also pulls in
%base-packages and I figured it was a good time to do something about
it.

I moved nvi from the installer to %base-packages-interactive.
I created %base-packages-disk-utils to work with
disks/partitions/file-systems.

Of the packages I removed from the installer which weren't already part
of %base-packages:
wpa-supplicant-minimal: wpa-supplicant already provided by the
wpa-supplicant-service-type.
openssh: Already provided by the openssh-service-type.

I figure it's worth asking: should we be using wpa-supplicant-minimal
and openssh-sans-x for their services in the installer? Actually,
looking at the openssh-service-type I don't see it documented in the
manual a field to use a different openssh package.

Efraim Flashner (2):
  system: Add %base-packages-disk-utils.
  install: Deduplicate packages with %base-package sets.
