Would it make sense to give this a different name like Dima's 
suggestion of sagemath-core or something else like sagemath-base, 
sagemath-minimal etc?


I think all of these options are much less expressive than the current 
choice.

Anything named *-minimal* could describe pretty much any arbitrary choice. 
(It's "minimal" for *what*?)
Likewise *-core* could mean pretty much anything. There are many other 
things that are arguably the "core" of Sage.
And *sagemath-categories* is definitely not the *-base*; below it in the 
dependency graph there is sagemath-objects (an even smaller subset).
