I have never seen less installed by default in a chroot. I have always had to ask for it (less and vim are probably the first two things I always have to install in chroot if I intend to deal with files in it). Now it may be I always make chroots as variant=buildd though which might be affecting things. I am certainly used to having to install it if I need it. > - bc, dc: > Rarely used (IMHO). > -> demote to "optional" I use bc lots, but I don't mind installing it when I want it. It probably is rarely used. > - dnsutils: > bind9-host provides a (limited) DNS query interface.

I see nothing in dnsutils that is easy to use although I imagine some people need dig, but then they are probably running a dns server themselves in that case. So dnsutils not being there would seem like a a non issue to me. No host command could be annoying but I don't think you are suggesing getting rid of bind9-host. > - w3m: > I think text-mode browsers are not worth including in the default > install.
