Description

After using helios-build onu as opposed to a stock onu, I found myself with no /usr/lib/share/dict/words. Presumably this is because this is a symlink in the packages there and we're not shipping the stock OS copy which is a file.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between helios-build onu and a stock onu, checking whether /usr/lib/share/dict/words is a symlink in the package contents and whether the stock OS copy is included. Trace the build or packaging entry point for helios-build onu; done means the generated system provides /usr/lib/share/dict/words as expected.
