Subject: Persistent package install in raspberry pi

Following the rasbberry pi install instructions (1) I have a working
system with a persistent apk cache and am able to save /etc/ with lbm
commit.

What I'm stuck on is that I want to install some other packages
persistently.  At the moment all that happens is that the packages get
saved in the apk cache and the record of the fact I wanted them installed
is saved.

In order to get the back I have to type "apk add" and they all re-install.

I need to have this work so that I can add my own choice of packages to the
system that are there while it boots.  Not least because some have daemons
that should be kicked off on boot.

Is this possible with diskless installs?  Is there something else I'm
supposed to do to ensure installed packages are persisted?
