Is it normal for a new Libertine container to download hundreds of packages?

I created a new libertine container using the settings GUI, but when you look at the "Operation Details" it's been downloading tons and tons of packages for over an hour. Is this normal?

@nvaxplus Yes, because it's basically creating a whole OS or system
Ideally, it should just download a whole image and set that up. Someone did that in an app before. Someone capable and willing just needs to implement it in Libertine as an option.

@nvaxplus Did you set the screen to stay on while setting up the container? If not delete it and try again leaving the screen set to stay on, that worked for me.
