With current auto layouts from the installer it's usually ok, but with
ones from a couple of releases ago it's very much not. It's also tricky to
fit everything if you're using a system from a few years ago with say a
1-2GB CF.

The only way I see this making sense is if it detects which sets are
installed. But the impression I got was that this was unwanted for sysupgrade
(so I use my own script). FWIW in case it helps anyone writing their own,
I use these for detection.
