As you pointed out by quoting the packages, these are already separate
tasks in current jessie, which I think is right. What remains unchanged
is "standard system tools", which I now understand is special. I assume
making NFS and MTAs non-"standard" is getting political, so I don't want
to open that can of worms ;-)

I don't run any machine as a dedicated print server ;-) and my desktop
machines got cups through some other dependency, it seems. I agree it
can be useful. As mentioned elsewhere, this is "just" because cups and
openssh are the only widely used options here.
Kind regards
