Yes, you can't assume that you have access to the internet at bootup - or that
you are allowed to use it even if you do. Publishing the list of packages that
are missing or missing components would be fine, or perhaps it could be scripted
around an rpm -V to find/fix packages with missing parts - which might be a
handy thing in general.
