I don't have a summary but the dicussion started here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00466.html Proposal to also remove bc: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00480.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00558.html The plan is as far as I followed the discussion to have a special task to group install the traditional tools. But it won't be a default anymore one could expect. I've mixed feelings about it myself but I think most distributions already moved somewhat away from what you have e.g. in a FreeBSD or OpenBSD base system. Cheers, Sven
