How have you defined essential?

That list is amazingly small.

# Binaries / Runtime packages
statsd -> nodejs-generic-pool
R-shiny -> nodejs-showdown
notepadqq -> nodejs-shelljs
mocha -> uglify-js and nodejs-jade
kosmtik -> 11 nodejs libraries
jake -> 5 nodejs libraries
elasticdump -> 3 nodejs libraries
discord-irc -> 10 nodejs libraries
carto -> 4 nodejs libraries

As both kosmtik and carto originate with me - indeed kosmtik
is kind of the original cause of my involvement in Node.js
pacaging I can comment a bit on those.

I wouldn't actually worry too much about keeping kosmtik to
be honest.

While carto is probably more useful the current version is
rather out of date, because of tricky dependency issues in
the newer versions so that dependency count will go up if it
is updated I think.

I also wonder if you missed some build/test toolchains
that are required? Only that is where of the nasty trees
of dependencies are I think.
