i asked another committer about this, and they explained that a
"distroless Linux container image" is a container image which only
contains basic system files like /etc/passwd and /etc/resolv.conf,
for use with a statically-linked application, like a Go app.

this is something i would like to support in pkgbase and am actively
working on, but it has nothing to do with sets, at least not right now.

certainly, if we do support this in pkgbase, it will have nothing to do
with the "minimal" set.

does that make sense?
