This is one of the main reasons I like Debian - the flexibility one has
in choosing what to install (no desktop at all in my case, just Icewm).
Like you, I use a minimal install and then add packages as required. I
make a list of all the packages I have on my existing system and use
that to remind me of what I will probably use in the new one.
