With per-package staging, could this be done before the per-package
staging areas are combined?  The idea would be to reduce differences
between the stage in buildroot and the stage when using an SDK.  Every
difference is a possible source of problems, even if it is something
that we are not supposed to care about.

Could this be taken further, and everything not in the stage whitelist
be deleted?  It would be nice if the SDK were smaller.
