The trick was not discovered by me, and works like this:

When installing a different package, that *requires* the packages you want, it pulls them in even though you cannot install them manually.

Poorly installing random packages adds random stuff, so instead we create an empty #RPM, #noarch (so works on #x86, #arm, #riscv etc.) that requires all the packages we want.

Build it, layer it, voila!

rpm-ostree doesnt even show them as layered, I wonder about the speed impact.
