here is just an idea what could be optimized: + pinentry-curses - acpi - apt-listchanges - aptitude-doc-en - bash-completion - bc - bsd-mailx - console-setup - curl - dc - debian-faq - dictionaries-common - dmidecode - doc-debian - docutils-doc - emacsen-common - exim4 - exim4-base - exim4-config - exim4-daemon-light - fontconfig - fontconfig-config - fonts-dejavu-core - geoip-database - hicolor-icon-theme - iamerican - ibritish - ienglish-common - info - install-info - ispell - laptop-detect - less - libcairo2 - libfontconfig1 - libgc1c2 - libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 - libgtk2.0-0 - libgtk2.0-bin - libintl-perl - libpango-1.0-0 - libpangocairo-1.0-0 - libpangoft2-1.0-0 - libtext-unidecode-perl - libx11-6 - libx11-data - libxcomposite1 - libxcursor1 - libxdamage1 - libxext6 - libxfixes3 - libxi6 - libxinerama1 - libxml-libxml-perl - libxml-namespacesupport-perl - libxml-parser-perl - libxml-sax-base-perl - libxml-sax-expat-perl - libxml-sax-perl - libxmuu1 - libxrandr2 - libxrender1 - man-db - manpages - mutt - nfacct - nfs-common - pinentry-gtk2 - procmail - rpcbind - task-english - telnet - texinfo - traceroute - w3m - wamerican - wget - whois - xauth - xkb-data And that list is by far not complete. Probably a good number of libraries still installed could also be removed too.
