cygwin: requires base-*
base-*: no requires at all [*]
No other changes. The end.
Since everything else (except -doc packages, I guess) depends on cygwin,
you're done. The base-* postinstall scripts will always run first (and,
I assume, the base-files preremove script will always run last).

script runs first: passwd-grp.sh, base-files-mketc.sh,
base-files-profile.sh.
