Yes, on a new stretch (print/SSH/standard utilities) with the
following installed already:
etckeeper cryptsetup dosfstools keyutils gdisk zip apt-show-versions
aptitude boot-info-script bootlogd dkms exim4 firmware-linux flac
fluid-soundfont-gm fluid-soundfont-gs fluidsynth* gpm lame lynx-cur mc
mlocate normalize-audio mutt ntp p7zip-full paps pdftk
printer-driver-cups-pdf putty putty-doc python-doc python3.5-doc
python-reportlab realpath scrot setcd smartmontools sox strace
texlive-luatex* timidity tnef unifont uudeview wicd-curses xournal
xpdf xzgv xzoom youtube-dl* apt-listbugs emacs emacs24-common-non-dfsg
hwdata hwinfo info inxi jpeginfo firmware-ipw2x00
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 linux-source alsa-utils arandr aumix-gtk
audacious-plugins audacity evince font-manager fvwm get-flash-videos*
(where * marks the relatively hungry ones), gnumeric will add:
hunspell-en-us enchant libaa1 libdv4 libshout3
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good lp-solve yelp libyelp0 pxlib1 fonts-dejavu
libhyphen0 libsuitesparseconfig4 libgsf-1-114 gnumeric-doc
