Subject: arch: use base package instead of base group
X-Git-Tag: v6~101^2

arch: use base package instead of base group

Arch has changed its base package group to a meta package that pulls in several
other packages as dependencies. It is slimmer than the package group was before
and necessary to request support, so we can (and should) install it in full.
