Who cares? Please skip less useful packages rather than excluding
important things - like decent X11 support for any modern laptop.

Who cares? I do not much.

I suggest:
xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn
elvis-tiny
nvi
wfaroese
ipmasqadm
cfengine-doc
cryptcat
dact
gftp-text
grace
icewm
icewm-lite
php3-imap
php3-mysql
php3-ldap
freeciv-xaw3d
dillo
dvb-zapping
proftpd-ldap
proftpd-mysql
proftpd-pgsql
pstngw
postal
openam
ohphone-basic
All of them do IMO do not match the needs of the target user base (at
least not the things they may need immediately after installation) or do
just duplicate another packages except of small changes (say
proftpd-pgsql vs. proftpd-mysql).
Gives you 18MiB.
MfG,
Eduard.
