Yes, that was the first requirement for the project, it must keep as minimal as
possible.

I ended up having these runtime dependencies:

GNU tar (runtime)
Iputils (runtime)
GNU coreutils (runtime)
Bash (runtime)
Util-linux (runtime)
GNU grep (runtime)
Ncurses (runtime)

And it is written in Python with support for 3.4 onwards.

I think all those are already present in a cd-stage1 or stage3 :)

I'll polish some rough edges before packaging it, then I'll let you know when I
have a functional package in my overlay so that it can be reviewed too.
