perl in the base image for F41

[har7an]

Describe the bug
Updating to Silverblue F41 pulls in a bunch of new packages, including (but not limited to) a load of perl dependencies.

To Reproduce
Please describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug:

1. rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/41/x86_64/silverblue, check the diff in the output

Expected behavior
Perl should not be part of the base image, see for example:

• https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161251
• Include git package in the base image #6 (especially this comment)

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context

The perl-packages are pulled in by python3-perf, which is in turn pulled in by tuned as announced in the F41 changeset. I find this concerning for two reasons:

1. I don't like the feature creep that's been going on over the past releases, each apparently adding more packages than are being deleted from the base image (and perl pulls in many packages at once)
2. Afaict (correct me if I'm wrong) Silverblue still only ships git-core and not "full" git, the argument initially being that "full" git requires perl. This is now obsolete. (although I admit I'm not aware of how much perl is still required by "full" git...)

I guess since the release already happened, and the change to tuned affects all Fedora versions, there isn't really a way to do anything about it now. I just thought I'd raise this to anyone interested. Personally I'll take this as motivation to build my own OS variants in the near future.

If, in the meantime, anyone has a hint on how to restore the previous power-profiles-daemon, I'd be very grateful for that.

As you found out, this is an unfortunate consequence of the move to tuned. I'm trying to resolve this with https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tuned/pull-request/8 and hopefully we can remove Perl again soon.

If tuned does not work for you, feedback to the change request owners or the Workstation SIG would be helpful.
