Bug#410418: includes dependencies of excluded packages on the cd, making netinst huge



tags 410418 - pending
thanks

I've decided to remove the pending tag as the change I committed does not 
really solve the issue identified by Joey.

Quoting his analysis:
> Ok, a lot of unncessary stuff including this is getting pulled onto the

This has now been changed, which means that cdebconf is no longer included 
(as it's only an alternative to debconf) and thus the gtk/fontconfig 
toolchain is no longer pulled in either.

Of course, that would change if we'd ever switch from debconf to cdebconf...

This issue is basically still there.
