here is just an idea what could be optimized:

+ pinentry-curses
- acpi
- apt-listchanges
- aptitude-doc-en
- bash-completion
- bc
- bsd-mailx
- console-setup
- curl
- dc
- debian-faq
- dictionaries-common
- dmidecode
- doc-debian
- docutils-doc
- emacsen-common
- exim4
- exim4-base
- exim4-config
- exim4-daemon-light
- fontconfig
- fontconfig-config
- fonts-dejavu-core
- geoip-database
- hicolor-icon-theme
- iamerican
- ibritish
- ienglish-common
- info
- install-info
- ispell
- laptop-detect
- less
- libcairo2
- libfontconfig1
- libgc1c2
- libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
- libgtk2.0-0
- libgtk2.0-bin
- libintl-perl
- libpango-1.0-0
- libpangocairo-1.0-0
- libpangoft2-1.0-0
- libtext-unidecode-perl
- libx11-6
- libx11-data
- libxcomposite1
- libxcursor1
- libxdamage1
- libxext6
- libxfixes3
- libxi6
- libxinerama1
- libxml-libxml-perl
- libxml-namespacesupport-perl
- libxml-parser-perl
- libxml-sax-base-perl
- libxml-sax-expat-perl
- libxml-sax-perl
- libxmuu1
- libxrandr2
- libxrender1
- man-db
- manpages
- mutt
- nfacct
- nfs-common
- pinentry-gtk2
- procmail
- rpcbind
- task-english
- telnet
- texinfo
- traceroute
- w3m
- wamerican
- wget
- whois
- xauth
- xkb-data

And that list is by far not complete. Probably a good number of
libraries still installed could also be removed too.

Cheers,
Martin
