Bingo:

- https://github.com/djosephsen/skinnywhale/blob/master/skinnywhale.sh
- https://github.com/mvanholsteijn/strip-docker-image
- https://xebia.com/blog/how-to-create-the-smallest-possible-docker-container-of-any-image/
- https://github.com/docker-slim/docker-slim

Shouldn't be that hard to adapt one of the above for nspawn?

One other thing I'm interested in is page cache sharing between the
host and the container .. seems like a messier problem.
