Instead of doing the work in the image of parsing through the element's package-install declarations, we can squash it on hostside, where we have both YAML and JSON available to us, and then emit a single pre-processed file into the target to be used later.

The package-installs element allows for a declarative method of installing and uninstalling packages for an image build. This is done by creating a package-installs.yaml or package-installs.json file in the element directory.
example package-installs.yaml: libxml2: grub2: phase: pre-install.d networkmanager: uninstall: True
example package-installs.json: { "libxml2": null, "grub2": {"phase": "pre-install.d"}, "networkmanager": {"uninstall": true} }
Setting phase or uninstall properties for a package overrides the following default values:
phase: install.d uninstall: False
DEPRECATED: Adding a file under your elements pre-install.d, install.d, or post-install.d directories called package-installs-<element-name> will cause the list of packages in that file to be installed at the beginning of the respective phase. If the package name in the file starts with a "-", then that package will be removed at the end of the install.d phase.
