I redid my patch to not try to change too much. I left network-manager-gnome alone and kept LibreOffice – at least the part of LibreOffice that the 'gnome' metapackage depends on.
Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

See bug 8183366. (Alternatives are gnome-software which is already installed, or gnome-packagekit, or switch to the GNOME on Xorg session.) The 'gnome' metapackage intentionally installs specific LibreOffice packages instead of the 'libreoffice' metapackage. Drop gimp since it's not important enough to install for everyone. The Debian GNOME team is discussing dropping it from the 'gnome' metapackage.
