It is intended that Alpine containers have a small and reduced footprint as they're typically geared towards a specific usecase

While having additional niceties in other containers can be beneficial to the user experience, it hinders the purpose of using an Alpine based container as the container is no longer shipping just the essentials

As discussed on Discord, I think this isn't what distrobox should be for
Creating an exception would lead to a mismatching default experience between distributions

I'm sorry but I don't think I want this (in this form)

If you want/will, we can open a discussion to implement some sort of --minimal (better naming wanted??) flag for create that does something similar for ALL distributions, that can be interesting 👍
