autologin won't register a consolekit session, and gnomes
are too greedy regarding sessions to let us go unmolested...
This particular image isn't production ready when built on
current Sisyphus yet due to unresolved NM/dbus problems
but I decided to at least archive the reached state.
This one is contributed by Max Kosmach and somewhat
streamlined/tweaked by me; a part of it rather belongs to
nodm and xinitrc packages but is not exactly trivial to get it
there due to the looming systemd-logind/consolekit disaster;
see also #27449.
Several hacks to make NetworkManager usable in a LiveCD environment
are there too (but it resists so far).
Why would anyone try to remove apt when it's needed
for package dependency tracking for the installation,
it only takes a less cursory look at the build.log
to figure out it didn't actually happen anyways...
An initial draft of it was done half a year ago but several tricky
thingies had kept the code from showing up as it was rather brittle
and incomplete.
This implementation involves quite a few changes all over the place
but finally works good enough for live and installer images.
Please pay attention to the versions of these packages:
- installer-feature-setup-plymouth (0.3.2-alt1+)
- branding-altlinux-sisyphus (20110706-alt2+ if used)
- plymouth (0.8.3-alt20.git20110406+)

It somehow managed to evade me that $(TMP) might be uninitialized;
definitely should be checked before stuffing into sed substitution
command.
NB: this could be done in pure make but my take was less readable.
Thanks shadowsbrother/gmail for hitting and reporting this.
It might be spottable but not immediately obvious that a feature
lives entirely in features.in/FEATURE and every target it provides
is described in the corresponding config.mk; thanks dkr@ for asking.
Just like livecd-install, graphical installer KMS support
looks better as an optional part of install2 feature.
Of course it's optional only if the release manager is fine
with VESA drivers and not KMS-requiring intel/radeon/nouveau;
thanks led@ for a confirmation just in case.
After having added metadata dependency livecd-install
started to look more like a feature than like an intermediate
distribution target; so things were shuffled a bit that way.
This further refines the modular build by making
metadata being a clearly separated feature rather
than having to rely on runtime tests, and also by
moving the code which cares for kernel bits of base
installation (.base list) in a feature of its own.
There's more to it but let's get the ball rolling first.
The initial work covered live images but missed an installer bit
(thus notes and slideshow were missing in install2) while forgetting
to put branding packages into base list (thus kindly making these
available for *manual* installation sometime after, ouch).
It's hard to tell a successful build from a failed one
if downstream hides the exit code; it's useless to continue
a `for' loop if a pipe shoves that to a subshell; well it seems
that a bashism is worth a thousand quirks with extra fds here.
Minor regexp enhancements are also due.
reports.mk made a bit more resilient/prudent either.
NB: for the feature to work properly the chosen branding
package set should have proper Provides: and Conflicts:,
specifically it must explicitly conflict with the most
lexicographically cool package set around (these days
it's sisyphus-server-light).
As duly noted by glebfm@, branding issues need more attention
by now since only stage1/install2 got some of it so far in this
regard. Hence the dedicated feature comes to the rescue
(well no, it doesn't actually mess with rescue!).
