Many packages that are not directly related to X need things from

Not very likely to be needed.

If you use sysupgrade, it will download all sets. It will also try to
install them unless you use "sysupgrade -n" and remove the relevant
files from /home/_sysupgrade.

There is something to be said for installing things which you don't need
(or creating a dummy file) that you can later remove when you _really_
need a bit more space...
