I think following the default behavior makes most sense here; otherwise
we'll have many users wondering why it's not enabled by default and how
to do so.

The time to build packages is not a big concern.  As for the size of
emacs-minimal; that's a bit unfortunate, but one could argue that
'emacs-minimal' is an oxymoron to start with ;-).
