The option <option>defaultPackages</option> was added. It installs the packages <package>perl</package>, <package>rsync</package> and <package>strace</package> for now. They were added unconditionally to <option>systemPackages</option> before, but are not strictly necessary for a minimal NixOS install. You can set it to an empty list to have a more minimal system. Be aware that some functionality might still have an impure dependency on those packages, so things might break.
