We setup a project called Librassoc (see http://www.bxlug.be/librassoc/)
which is basically a Debian Sarge with GNOME in French and Dutch.
Our list of packages is here: http://apt.bxlug.be/librassoc/dpkg.selections.
All packages come from Debian, except one: gnome-librassoc, which is not
needed.
Maybe we should compare yours and ours?

Also more or less 400MB to download for us.
We also documented the way to use apt-proxy to speed it when installing
on several PC, and even how to preseed the installation to ask for less
questions.

Same for us.
