There is something wrong with these requirements.  I don't need avahi,
for example, and it's impossible to remove without taking down the whole
system.

A minimal install doesn't have a gui, and I don't need a gnome desktop.
But if I did that, could I have installed what I have now without, for
example, avahi installed?
