I would suggest that you create a VM and do a regular installation using the
'netinst' image.
Choose 'no desktop' etc when you get the choice.
You'll end up with a minimal text-based VM.
Then note down with the packages you will install to get the desired result.
That will be the minimal package list, which you then can use to build the live
system.
I would also turn of Suggested and Recommended Packages in apt before
installing any of my own packages, and expect some things to not work
because of missing Recommends. That'll make the image quite a bit
smaller at the price of having to test more thoroughly.
I stil get triggered by calling software one doesn't like "bloatware".
