Consider the openSUSE-repos package about rockstor-installer HOT 4 OPEN

@FroggyFlox nice! I think you were referring to this comment earlier this year:

once we dropped our Leap 15.4 profiles.

Noting that this is now the case via: "Remove Leap 15.4 profiles #157" #163

I'm not entirely sure how this will play with our requirement during build. From my initial read I see that the package adds/redefines repos on the host. But when building images our kiwi-ng config provides the repos required for the packages we stiplulate, and we then add those same repositories to our resulting install via the "imageinclude" option in our repo definitions:

    <repository type="rpm-md" alias="Leap_15_6" imageinclude="true" profiles="Leap15.6.x86_64,Leap15.6.RaspberryPi4,Leap15.6.ARM64EFI">
        <source path="obs://openSUSE:Leap:15.6/standard"/>
    </repository>

Mostly anyway. But adding this repos-adding package to the to-be-installed image doesn't make those packages available during the build: where we need those repos to ensure we have access to the packages they contain.

Re:

We add for installer-build-time-only such repos as the following:

    <repository type="rpm-md" alias="repo-backports-update" profiles="Leap15.6.x86_64,Leap15.6.RaspberryPi4,Leap15.6.ARM64EFI">
        <source path="https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.6/backports/"/>
    </repository>

That came about around 15.3/15.4 via a package addition. Adding them in kiwi-ng config for build time only meant our resulting images included the updates they afforded. Making them way more up-to-date.
