- this change has high ROI: disable PULSEAUDIO by default vs. "batteries included"
- not much of an issue for the package cluster due to high churn on /latest set
- shouldn't impact unsupervised or portmsater builds (options are still there)
- SUBPACKAGES require dogfooding[1] to test tools and avoid regressions
