There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

[RFC] base-{minimal,voidstrap,system}: unify base packages
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/39814

Description:
Unifying the three alternative base packages makes it easier to manage dependencies consistently, and having successively more featureful packages depend on the next more spartan package makes the additional inclusions more obvious.

If there is any real reason not to have a `base-system -> base-voidstrap -> base-minimal` dependency chain, we can still preserve dependency maintainability by defining, *e.g.*,

```sh
_minimal_depends="[...]"
_voidstrap_depends="${_minimal_depends} [...]"
```

in the header.
