Ok, just went back to look at that post which I seem to have missed. In general, Ken has already covered most of what I'd say in reply, but I'd also note that much of the stuff you list is just dependencies. You don't install openssl or libpng because you want those packages, as they're almost useless on their own. They're things you install only because they're needed in order to install something you *do* care about (e.g openssh, or a desktop) I'd also observe that your list pretty much proves the point that there's no such thing as a common set of packages - of the things you list, maybe one in ten are things I'd install on my own system (and most of those because they're dependencies like openssl or dbus). I don't even recognise the names of some of the things you've listed. Simon.
