Comment:
Installing the system package in config/packages will definitely cause a
problem as the kernel does not (and should not) look for drivers there.
(And any other packages installed in /system/packages cannot see files
from the ~/config/packages files either.)
The reasoning behind this is that eventually when we have multiple users,
they should be able to install packages for themselves (hence the packages
dir being in ~/config), but due to the fact that they don't have
administrative access, drivers and other libraries from ~/config shouldn't
be loaded into the kernel or replace system libraries as that would be a
gaping security hole.
