I'm looking for best practices with Red Hat's sponsored container images: Universal Base Image, when we need to deploy application using this containers.

A lot of third party apps requires packages from AppStream, and there's clearly a gap between what is shipped in RHEL's AppStream and ubi-8-appstream.

We can use the package harfbuzz as an example, on a running RHEL 8.5 we have the development packages available:

harfbuzz-1.7.5-3.el8.x86_64
harfbuzz-icu-1.7.5-3.el8.x86_64
harfbuzz-devel-1.7.5-3.el8.x86_64

But with ubi-8-appstream only the runtime package is available, as can be seen directly on its repo.

In that situation what is the right way to get the development packages? Adding RHEL's AppStream doesn't seems to be a good idea and this will also raise subscription-manager issues.

What am I missing here?
