Which package in console-image depends on libcap2?  It might be worth
exploring whether there is a way to avoid that dependency.

It's worth noting that being able to build console-image is not really a
primary goal for micro.  It'd be nice if it worked but I don't want to
add any extra binary bloat in the base system purely for the sake of
getting a clean console-image build that may end up never being used.

So, absent a compelling usage scenario for libcap2 on micro, please
don't commit this patch.
