I've pushed half of this patch:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/00d94d95c805ee027a9ef9e67f3979f1faada4a7

It will appear in libguestfs >= 1.27.14.

However you can't just remove packages from the common list at
the bottom of this file, since that breaks other distros.

Firstly supermin should ignore packages which are not installed,
so any packages here which are not present on Mageia are ignored.
(If that doesn't happen, it's a bug in supermin 5).

Secondly if a package (eg udev) really breaks Mageia when included
in the appliance, but is available on Mageia, so should not appear
in the final list, then we would need to move the package from
the common list to every other distro section.

BTW you can post patches on the mailing list if you find that
easier.
Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2014-06-05 23:30:25 UTC 
This is bogus:
guestfish now fails with the following error on Mageia Cauldron:

guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libyajl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The fix looks obvious:
s/yajl,/yajl/
