This is more of a question for debian-user, but...

You can use use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to cut down on the
module list.  The debconf question about modules gives a brief description
of what each module does; from there you should be able to decide whether
you consider it essential functionality for your environment or not.

Someday, though, we may have TinyX packaged, and that would probably be a
superior solution.  The XFree86 X server has not evolved in a
resource-conserving direction over the years.
