As you can see I'm mostly adding a bunch of standard debian packages and a little bit of system configuration to make things easier for LinuxCNC users.  Because I'm adding packages, I had to increase the size of the root partition.

I found that if I increase it to 8192M or larger, it fails to resize itself to fill the micro-SD card on the first boot.  8000M works fine. I'm fine for now staying below 8 gigs, just thought I'd report the issue here.

Hmm, I spoke too soon.  It's not the larger root partition size that breaks the partition resizer, it's installing task-xfce-desktop.

The debugging continues...

Ok, false alarm, sort of: the problem was operator error on my part.

I had added a second "apt: install" step to install some packages in addition to the "base system" (outside of the cached root fs tarball). That caused the initramfs to be regenerated, but the rpi-resizerootfs scripts had already been deleted by then.

Sorry for the noise, folks.
