The dependencies aren't so bad really, if someone will install any Gnome application (GIMP, FF, TB, ...) then will have reused them. And actually some of the packages on the list above are needed by wmudmount.

Should we include thunderbird and firefox?
I don't know how about Debian. Here in Mageia there is a possibility to select groups of packages during install (network station, documentation, console tools, etc). I will focus only on the urgently needed things + a preconfigured desktop.
And I will try to add:
- a mixer applet for the Tray - maybe the one from Gnome is good
enough? It has to be modern and fully configurable like the Gnome
one
wmmixer?
I had a look at FreeCode to find a reasonable choice. I don't want to take yet another space for a dockapp for an user, so I was for an applet. I found that http://sourceforge.net/projects/gvolwheel/ should work just fine:
- it has just one basic wheel for master
- it contains a button to open an optional mixer.
The optional was by default gnome-alsamixer, but I patched it to use Pavucontrol (from the Pulseaudio project), and now I will work on the patching the code to use pa directly, not through /dev/mixer.
- a distro specific updates monitor [mgaonline]

How to set a default theme for Window Maker? I'm doing it currently
by running setstyle in a script..
In debian there is a package, desktop-base.

Probably we need a wmaker-themes package to include the themes, but we should 
work (upstream) in dockapps and themes too. More developers are welcome.
In Mandrake/Mandriva there was a package with Window Maker Themes, here there is a reworked version of mine (probably still needs some polishing)
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/windowmaker-themes/current/SPECS/windowmaker-themes.spec?view=markup

I am not sure about these things (packages to include), I need think about it 
more.
