anaconda is actually on the installed system for non-live, non-GNOME
graphical installs now too, because initial-setup (as opposed to
gnome-initial-setup) requires it. Just an FYI.

Also FYI, the semantics of various anaconda 'dependencies':

* If the anaconda package directly depends on another package, then as
things stand, that means that package needs to be in the anaconda
runtime environment itself for some part of anaconda to work properly.
Such packages *may* also be part of the other set (see below), but are
not *necessarily*.

* If a package is in the 'anaconda-tools' comps group, that means that
it is a package anaconda does not necessarily need in its runtime
environment, but which it may add to the set of packages to be deployed
on the installed system, depending on the precise configuration of the
installation in question.

Packages in 'anaconda-tools' are included on the DVD and on live images.
This is the source of the iscsi and fcoe services at least, as
iscsi-initiator-utils and fcoe-utils are listed in anaconda-tools. Note
that QA has a test for service startup and has filed several bugs for
services that should perhaps be disabled or enabled only conditionally,
and we've made some progress on this over the last few releases: for
instance, iscsi.service was made conditional on some iscsi node actually
existing as part of F19:

There is a postinstall phase for live images, but it's a pretty ugly
hack, and we don't currently use it to remove packages.
