It would probably be reasonably sensible to move quite a few of these
packages from BaseSeed to ShipSeed (with existing solutions such as
bpalogin and eagle-usb). It's rare that you'd use all these different
kinds of methods in a single installation, though very handy to have
them available on the disk.
