You will install more than you actually need, but it will work. If something
is missing, you have found a bug.

 Depends: task-x-window-system-core, lbxproxy, libdps-dev, libdps1,
 libxaw-dev, libxaw7, proxymngr, twm, xdm, xfonts-cyrillic, xfonts-pex, xfs,
 xfwp, xlibmesa3, xlibmesa-dev, xlibosmesa3, xlibosmesa-dev, xlibs-dev,
 xnest, xprt, xspecs, xterm, xvfb

Quick guess, you do not need -dev, no cyrillic, no xnest, xprt, xspecs,
xvfb. This is from woody, it might look a little different in potato.

server, client, some fonts, a window manager and xterm.

No you can not go back to that list AFAIK (if you are talking about the
slink list). If you talk about the potato install, run tasksel, thats
probably what you have seen.
