One place where I can imagine that a small installation would be
popular is on laptops. But for those to work well, you need (i) the
apm package, and (ii) recompile the kernel to enable apm support.
So I would suggest that among the "extra" stuff you'd want to have the
kernel sources, the pcmcia module sources, and whatever it takes to
compile them (gcc + ?).
Another package that might be popular is leafnode, for maintaining a
local news spool over a dialup line. (Or something similar.) This
particular package is small, although its implications for disk usage
are not.
