Hi Zbigniew,
yes, basesystem is there just to ensure installation order and it could
probably be achieved by that PR.
There is one more benefit from the retirement - as there are
occasionally bug reports (that should be filed against distribution)
reported as basesystem issues (similarly to setup package being target for
installation issues and filesystem package for issues with the partition
layout). Retirement could reduce the confusion for people...

Regards,
             Ondrej
