In theory, it should be possible to install everything with priority
optional and above. In practice, this isn't quite the case. Still, you
could go into dselect, hit '+' on the line labelled "Available Optional
packages" (similarly Required, Important, and Standard, but you probably
already have most of them installed), and see what happens.
