That's so cool...but why so many unnecessary packages?

mc, g++, emacs, ssh, build_essential, zip, unzip, openssh-server,
postfix ???

Many of these are great packages and necessary for a well-run server
(except emacs, build_essential, g++), but do they belong in a web2py
install script?

My take is don't include:
 - emacs because it furthers a religious debate
 - g++ and build_essential because the script doesn't build anything
and you don't need built tools to run web2py and build tools can be
considered bad on a production box
