If [1] and [2] is the list of the packages included on the iso, the
only packages that need to be added are
bc 86.8 KB
clonezilla 906.7 KB *
drbl 1.1 MB *
pigz 64.1 KB
sshfs 30.1 KB

I marked clonezilla and drbl with '*' as they are
architecture-independent packages - arch=('any'). The package size of
these 8 [3] packages is ~2.5 MB.

[3] 32 and 64-bit versions of bc, pigz and sshfs + clonezilla and drbl
