[tldistro] scheme-infraonly

Well, it depends. If you are sure that the arch is always the same,
then it is better to have the scheme-infraonly as starting point,
because user can simple start with
	tlmgr install scheme-whatever
without thinking and without installation.

But this requires that the arch is pre-defined.

Yes, that is true, and intended. The scheme-infraonly contains
	depend hyphen-base
	depend kpathsea
	depend texlive-scripts
	depend texlive.infra
texlive.infra contains tlmgr, and the Perl modules which are also in the
installer (the Perl modules).
texlive-scripts contains lots of scripts necessary, and also install-tl.

So yes, there is an overlap, is this something that bothers you?

Best

Norbert
