I've verified that a comps file is indeed created 
(DESTDIR/VERSION/i386/os/repodata/NAME-VERSION-comps.xml), but it contains 
all packages, for example scribus, even though this RPM is not included. 

Somehow, the GUI Anaconda seems to "hide" the packages that are not 
available, while the text based Anaconda doesn't.

Thanks. I wonder if this is the approach Revisor uses?

It seems anaconda-runtime is required as well. 

Also, the resulting installer crashes when trying to install the 
bootloader. I guess I need to add Grub as well.
