[SOLVED] Which package in "base" is responsible for creating directory

I am installing Arch linux into microSD. I plugged microSD in my laptop with Arch linux running, created the partition table with gparted, and then created filesystems:

mkfs.ext4 /dev/m{{some_random_numbers_and letters}}1

mkswap /dev/m{{some_random_numbers_and letters}}2
swapon /dev/m{{some_random_numbers_and letters}}2

I was hoping, that the standard directory tree will appear after I create ext4 filesystem, however, only one directory was there - "lost+found".

I then installed the "arch-install-scripts" ([extra] repo), and performed those commands:

mount /dev/m{{some_random_numbers_and letters}}1 /mnt
pacstrap /mnt base

And only then the directory tree appeared. My question is, which package from the "base" is responsible for creating this directory tree? (My guess is "filesystem")

Base package elements:
archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base/

P.S. I removed "sudo" from the beggining of the commands for readability purposes.

Look at the filesystem PKGBUILD:
