Comment:
`arm*` doesn't pull `linux-headers` because we can't currently build the vanilla `linux5.8` package for these archs, but we are building this package for `aarch64*`. The right recourse to avoid `linux-headers` on `aarch64*` is the same for others: just `ignorepkg=linux-headers` in an `xbps.d` configuration file.

Comment:
@ahesford Should the ignore line be there by default when building new rpi3 and rpi4 images? Can I add it to mklive?

Comment:
I'm not sure best practice here because I've never made or used an rpi image. I suggest you open an issue in https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive to solicit some comments.
