Well, I felt lost until I installed "aptitude". This gave me the view on sw packages I liked and understood. You can disable "install recommended / suggested packages automatically" found in Options > Dependency handling. Then you get smaller systems while still have all the dependencies under control. Also note that e.g. "x-window-system" is a meta-package containing a quite a number of packages. You can install x-window-system-core and xterm and your favourite windowmanager instead and cut down on packages. But there will be no other way than reading the package descriptions, dependencies and documentation for finding out what is essential. Is this of any help?
