Well, Public domain is not even a lisence :D

Comment:
From the [list of licenses](https://spdx.org/licenses/), I think we can use `license="Unlicense"` for public domain.
Some packages in this repo are also using it.

Comment:
1. Having different dependencies for glibc and musl doesn't really make sense and (base-system and base-minimal).
1. Assuming this alternative to `ldconfig` would be in the base system and programs have a fallback to use `scanfelf` seems very specific.

I personally feel like, this should be solved by adding the right dependencies to the packages that require this and doesn't deserve a "alternative" in the base system.

Comment:
I generally support the rationale that packages should not carry extra dependencies.

However, I would like to share a little different perspective. In Alpine Linux (the closest possible match to Void-musl), we get a working base system packed in 5.58MB, such that I can host my application bundle (+ dependencies) without installing much (and sometimes anything) from package manager. 

For comparison of base sizes:

| REPOSITORY | SIZE |
|---|---|
| ubuntu | 79.6MB |
| centos | 199MB |
| alpine | 5.58MB |
| voidlinux/voidlinux-musl | 68.6MB |

I am by no means an expert on Void Linux, but it is my feeling that Void Linux could do better in base image package, taking into account broader usecases and cut off extra dependencies. I am not suggesting to copy what Alpine has done; but some inspirations can be taken from a little bit more busy distro, since the difference in size and experience (what is already available inbox) is quite observable.
