FAI itself does only create long list of package names that are then
feed to apt, aptitude or apt-get. These tools then decide in which
order to install the packages. In install_packages we define in
which order the package tools are called.

our @commands = qw/ ..... install install-norec aptitude aptitude-r...../;

That means first apt-get is called with the list of packages under a
"PACKAGES install" section from package_config, then apt-get
--no-install-recommends (PACKAGES install-norec), then aptitude,....

You could list some package in the sections for apt-get (line PACKAGES install)
and list other packages in other sections.
