i use much more. if you really want to split put in a applets-base package
one for each type (the most basic or usefull one) and all the rest in a
applet-others package. good candidates for applets-base are:
clock
cd player
mixer
CPU/MEM usage (the most information in a single applet)
Battery meter
Mailcheck
PPP applet or modem light (the one that let you start ppp)
desk guide & task list (lot of people will complain if they are missing)
drive mount (?)
printer applet (?)

this is important. a lot of people installed helix packages because
debian didn't provide gnome 1.2 ones fast enought. but they (we) want
to switch to a debian-only install as fast as possible ;)
