How "messed up"? IOW, what if you just started paring away
packages, aggressively making it as *minimal* as possible while
still being able to run ssh. (From experience, I can tell you that
that's pretty darned small.)
Then, start adding back packages as you see fit.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
