Actually you have a lot of stuff installed that you don't need if the
machine is only going to be a samba server and/or gateway/firewall.
Also remember that all documentation goes in /usr/share as well.

This list is things that I don't think you need on this system. If
you intend to have a nice, useful desktop system then they are good to
have but are probably not going to be used on a firewall/gateway
system. It all depends on how the system is going to be used, which
only you know. I also noticed that you have 3 different vi clones
installed -- you probably only need 1. You could probably also remove
a bunch of other libraries, but you'll need to check the dependencies
that apt reports when you try and remove them.
