That's really strange. The code needed at startup shouldn't need to be
that large. Of course, that was part of the reason why I want(ed) all
the job of finding which packages to load in which order to be done
"offline" rather than at startup.

It's better than nothing, but we'll need a better answer as soon as
people get used to installing packages, such that the "no installed
package" case becomes rare.
