[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 1/2] Add some common packages for x86-64 target.

[John Crispin]

Hi Ben,

i am inclined to reject this one. i understand the reasoning behind the
patch but the general concept is to keep images minimal. the tools might
make sense to you for your use case but others will want a different
selection of tools/drivers. we will never be able to find a set suitable
for everyone which is why it was decided ages ago to keep the list minimal.

	John
