Reducing the disk footprint of Debian Edu?

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

At the moment in Jessie, a complete installation of a Roaming
Workstation fill up 8.2 GiB of disk space.  I wonder if we should reduce
the disk footprint a bit, and had a look at which packages fill up the
same.

Using this command, I am able to get the 20 largest packages installed:

  apt-cache -o 'APT::Cache::AllVersions=0' show \
    $(dpkg -l|grep ^ii|awk '{print $2}') | \
    grep -E '^(Package|Installed-Size): ' | \
    perl -ne 'if (/^Package: (.*)/) { $p = $1 };  if (/^Installed-Size: (.*)/) { print"$1 $p\n"; $p = 'BUG' }' | \
    sort -rn|head -20

You can try to run this command yourself after installation to get the
complete list, by replacing 'head -20' with less.  This is the list I
get on a Roaming Workstation with KDE installed.

Do we need or want all these packages?  Anyone know some we should drop
from the default installation?
