And while this sounds like what you want Amel, keep in mind many of the 
packages
have options that the user can choose and some of those change the behaviour.
These packages from the QA Team will mostly be for restoring systems, IIRC, 
not
for getting a quick build up (though they can be used for that as well) since
we're not going to be building them for every optimization possible, just the
ISO defaults.
