Hi I have noticed that host deploy installs several packages which are not VDSM deps. Its : tuned kexec-tools iptables-services. If VDSM needs them maybe it can pull them in using dependencies? And if not why are they installed.

Does it make sense to let some component require (in the spec) those packages?
