No.

The reason is, that I see "vendor install" as a starting point. Every
distributor (hopefully) tries to guess really hard, what their intended
userbase might need and what not - but ultimately it's a futile attempt.

I specify the stuff I really want and let FAI figure out which required
packages have to be installed in order to get there. (Works pretty well
for Debian and Ubuntu, SuSE is a bit more tricky.)
