      - acpid              # Daemon for ACPI (power mgmt) events
      - avahi-daemon       # 2021-07-27: RaspiOS (and package libnss-mnds, below) install this regardless -- holdover from the XO days and used to advertise ssh/admin-console being available via avahi-daemon -- used with https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/network/tasks/avahi.yml
      #- avahi-discover    # 2021-07-27: Commented out long ago
      - bzip2              # 2021-04-26: Prob not used, but can't hurt?
      - curl               # Used to install roles/nodejs and roles/nodered
      #- etckeeper         # "nobody is really using etckeeper and it's bloating the filesystem every time apt runs" per @jvonau at https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues/1146
      #- exfat-fuse        # 2021-07-27: Should no longer be nec with 5.4+ kernels, so let's try commenting it out
      #- exfat-utils       # Ditto!  See also 'ntfs-3g' below
      - gawk
      - htop
      - i2c-tools          # Low-level bus/chip/register/EEPROM tools e.g. for RTC
      #- inetutils-syslogd # 2021-07-27: Error logging facility -- holdover from the XO days, journalctl has replaced this in newer distros
      #- iproute2          # Installed by roles/2-common/tasks/network.yml
      - logrotate
      - libnss-mdns        # 2021-07-27: RaspiOS (and package avahi-daemon, above) install this regardless -- client-side library -- provides name resolution via mDNS (Multicast DNS) using Zeroconf/Bonjour e.g. Avahi
      #- lynx              # Installed by 1-prep's roles/iiab-admin/tasks/access.yml
      #- make              # 2021-07-27: Currently used by roles/pbx and no other roles
      - mlocate
      - net-tools          # 2021-04-26: @jvonau suggests possibly deleting this...unless oldtimers really want these older commands in iiab-diagnostics output?
      #- ntfs-3g           # 2021-07-31: RaspiOS installs this regardless -- but this should no longer be nec with 5.4+ kernels, similar to exfat packages above -- however, see also this symlink warning: https://superuser.com/questions/1050544/mount-with-kernel-ntfs-and-not-ntfs-3g -- and upcoming kernel 5.15 improvements: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=New-NTFS-Likely-For-Linux-5.15
