Not bad. It took only a little less than 4MB to install and works pretty
fine.

AFAIK I have only 1 locale, but will check tomorrow. On the other hand,
I salvaged about 13MB by removing may of xserver-xorg-video-* packages
and doc-linux-text and doc-debian.

localepurge and docpurge: will try tomorrow. /usr/share/doc indicated
that it uses about 41MB of disk space.
