liblas is also boost, and possibly mapnik. libboost1.42-dev seems ok to
remove and takes a bunch of other dev packages with it for 71.9 M

No deps, seems safe to remove for 64.2 M

smbclient is the lib that everything uses to access windows shares
(which never works for me anyways)

Not sure but some project may have built their installer counting on it.

Other candidates:
linux-headers <- once things are built do we need them? Might prevent
users from adding their own R packages...

vim,vim-runtime 27 M , not to start a flame war but new users to linux
don't use this.

python-bzrlib 20M , though I wouldn't want to impede the use of bzr
version control

xfwm4-themes 17 M, no deps, looks safe.
Hmm, neither GIMP nor Inkscape are on there.

r-base-core is installed, guess it's not called r-base anymore.

That's a good roundup.

Thanks,
Alex
