Testing the changes

  • I tested the changes in this PR: YES

  • Not too sure about this approach, it's a bit clunky, and leaves non-included tools in the manpage.

  • Should the subpackage be named as such or something else?

  • is this list of tools a good selection? I took all the ones that aren't related to packaging and don't need git (the largest dependency by far)

Why not make a proper subpackage and let xtools depend on xtools-live?

Should've done that in the first place. Also found that several tools that use git can function without it (sans auto-detecting void-packages), but that seems like an acceptable compromise for a live environment, and if the user is downloading void-packages in live for whatever reason, they'll need to install git anyways.
