I do not see the need for a waterproof definition capable of splitting the archive in two, the important and the not so important. We could for example start with the packages in base (aka installed by debootstrap), and add the most commonly installed packages as reported by popularity-contest. I have little doubt that these packages are the most important packages in debian, and that all of them are more important than for example one of my own packages, ipmitool. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
