     includes a bunch of possibly unnecessary things, if you want to be legit install the debian net_installer and build your own DM from scratch

     @kaia I saw a breakdown for either MS Word of LibreOffice, in which the vast majority of space used by its packages was fonts for all the world's languages that you'll never use. The 2nd worst waste of space was the subpackages and plugins that supported compatibility with other file formats. Cannot quite find it now, but this is how I remember it.
