Hi,
I think this topic (choosing packages which were supposed to
be installed) has come up before, and there was a list of packages
floating around; however, choosing required, important, and standard
packages should also do it.
That means, currently, 133 packages (from the available file
on my machine). So, any port to a new architecture would have to
bootstrap by porting these packages by other means. A smaller set
could doubtless be assembled, but maintaining that list is likely to
be more cumbersome than this simple rule.

People beset by desire run here and there, like a snared rabbit, so
one should get rid of one's craving if it is freedom from desire that
one wants. 343
