Debians minimal system (what's called 'standard') is to fat.
Regardless of how secure it is, many boxes just don't need the
portmapper or a telnet _daemon_ (I don't mind about the client,
I prefer netcat though). The minimal system should really be
minimal, let dependencies do the rest.

$ telnet bofh.jive.org 666|grep "Your excuse is:"
