As already suggested to me for some weeks, use the original packages
and create your own patch wich will patch-out all stuff not needed
for the embedded system.
Exactly: 1) download your desired source
2) dpkg-source -X *.dsc
3) modify all stuff you need
4) change the debian/control and add an extension like "emdeb"
5) build your package and put it into a private repository
6) enjoy it
Note: I have many things automated to do it and the
original packages where arround 380 MByte...
Now the repository has only 290 MByte.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
