I don't see why.  If python-minimal were included in Debian then some
packages that currently Depend on python could (if their needs are
minimal) Depend on python-minimal instead.  This would be an improvement,
and obtaining this benefit does not require that python-minimal be
Essential: yes in Debian.

In any case I am hoping to see python-minimal included in Debian.
