In this case we will give situation when two packages (kmod and
buildtree-generic) are part of essential category hierarchy but in the
same time they aren't part of minimal system.

I also think that we can make an exception for kernel category and not
to change it. So we will get essential category that contains
everything for the minimal system except the kernel. It is obvious
that system needs kernel for running so it isn't so necessary to point
out it. In this case, hypothetical essential.order file will process
only packages from these two categories and it looks logical. What do
you think about it? What do you like more (subcategory or exception
for kernel category or maybe something else)?
