With half a day i meant also testing the ISO before pushing them to public 
ftp.
it's a 90MB upload tarball which needs some time to get uploaded before ISO 
can be created, then it's a 500MB download again to test those ISOs.
all of this needs quite some time.
It's not a big deal to add libarchive to install packages, but it's a big deal 
to have it in install environment because then the upload tarballs needs to 
regenerate.
This small package is imho not worth to regenerate the upload tarball. 
glibc had a weird bug which was worth the trouble and also the klibc-kbd had 
wrong depend array.
