Package: debspawn
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: wishlist

I looked into why the .tar.zst images for debspawn are so big. Indeed,
they contain a lot of stuff that does not belong there. Examples
include:

 * dmidecode
 * fdisk
 * ifupdown
 * init
 * isc-dhcp-client
 * kmod
 * nftables
 * rsyslog
 * systemd
 * tasksel
 * vim-tiny

When one passes --variant buildd to debspawn create, the size is much
smaller. When doing so, one has to pass --variant buildd to every
debspawn build and debspawn login invocation. That's quite annoying.
Given that debspawn's primary use is building, how about defaulting the
variant to buildd?
