Ok, it seems there are no objections, so I'm going to apply it today.
FYI, it touches the following packages:
db
ipw3945
iwlwifi
lilo
ndiswrapper
pam
perl
rt2500
rt2x00-cvs
udev
wlan-ng26
wpa_supplicant

Only db and lilo get coreutils removed from depends array.
Udev needs coreutils because of sbin/migrate_udev script.
Other packages used /bin/true but didn't contain coreutils in depends.
I think a pkgrel bump for db and lilo is needed so we get rid of
cyclic depends before the ISO release.

if it does one of these things:

post_install () {
/bin/true
}

then you can get rid of it. pacman will be happy with an empty function too.
