Summary0008848: Provide minimal builds of Kali for Vagrant and RaspberryPi
Description

The currently available images (especially) for Vagrant and Raspberry (or generally SoC) devices come in the "kali-linux-default" flavour, which includes a GUI and quite a bunch of tools. It would be extremely useful to have an additional minimal image with just the "kali-linux-core" packages to cut down deployment and update times, and to make it easier to create purpose-built boxes with just the necessary tools installed.

I'm aware that it's possible to tweak the build scripts and I have done so for individual Raspberry builds already, but especially for Vagrant, it would be much more convenient to have the minimal build automatically deployed via the official build pipeline to the Vagrant box repo, so deployments of the box can happen directly from there without the need to create / maintain your own infrastructure for building and hosting the boxes.

If useful, I can provide different scenarios in which such a minimal image would be helpful.
