Is this actually serious?

Afaik, archiso does not require something that crazy.

If there is really no better way, I just want to report the following missing deps :
archboot --> 'netkit-telnet>=0.17-8'
archboot --> 'wlan-ng26>=0.2.9-2'
archboot --> 'atl2>=2.0.5-2'

I guess netkit-telnet could be replaced by inetutils, but wlan-ng26 and atl2 seem gone.
