There isn't a distinction: "base" is precisely what is needed for an
"installation". There is a distinction between "required" (cf "essential")
and "base", though.

The current way we describe "base" isn't really great, but it's what we've
got. Seems to make the most sense to add "eject" to base on all arches.
