Why, because you don't have that much time, to install a minimalist server install? If you make a minimal install first, it doesn't take much time. Then boot, run apt-get and most packages you will install by your list will install automatically, just a few need interaction, but there likely is an apt-get option to automatically continue the install and to set up manually later. Perhaps --assume-no does the job. >2) BROKEN INSTALL: Some days ago, I was installing a server and close >to the end the ethernet cable got loose (I didn't noticed that).

Apart from this, at least the server image for Wily seems to provide at least some, if not all the mentioned packages. I suspect you didn't use the server image, but some minimal netinstall image. So you likely could solve those issues by using another image.
