I think this an Anaconda regression.  Using `bootloader --location=none`
and `%packages --nocore` was supposed to avoid installing a bootloader,
but we're ending up with one again.

If you look at /var/log/anaconda/anaconda.log in the image (yes,
log files are in the image by default), you'll see:

18:28:07,936 INFO anaconda: bootloader GRUB2 on X86 platform

I'll file a bug with Anaconda.

Is a grub2 dependency.

I think this may be an xkbcommon dep chain, and that's a dependency
of systemd.

Of course the systemd-in-docker will never be responsible for physical
keyboards, but at the moment it's one big package.
