The following shows the kB needed (for all+i386) and names of some packages
(documentation and games) that I wouldn't miss:

 size  name
 78022 lg-*
 21933 kernel-doc-{2.4.24,2.4.25,2.4.26,2.6.6,2.6.7}  (keeping 2.4.27 and  2.6.8)
175736 vegastrike*
 87298 fgfs-base flightgear
 67758 beneath-a-steel-sky
