Downloads Action

The downloads action includes additional packages to <profile>.downloads. These packages aren't installed by default during the installation, but are still included on the installation CD. This might be useful to include package dependencies, which for some reason aren't deduced properly. The installer will query these packages, whenever it encounters a missing package dependency.
