Heroku-24: Omit transitive deps from package install list (build image) #293

Closed edmorley closed 5 months ago

edmorley commented 5 months ago

This is the build image equivalent of #285.

Several of the packages in the list of packages to install in the build image are actually already transitive dependencies of other packages.

For packages that we absolutely need regardless, it makes sense to still include these transitive deps explicitly in the list. However, some of the transitive deps are actually packages we wouldn't choose to install if they weren't already a dependency of something else. This change omits such entries.

This change is a no-op in terms of the final images (note how there is no change to the generated installed-packages-*.txt lists), but makes it easier to follow/audit the remaining packages in the list.
