How small? If you want to get really 'thin', you would probably have to move away from .deb packages, as they insist on including such cruft as 'documentation' :-) Maybe look at udeb packages, micro .deb format which is used by debian-installer. You will probably get more ideas from debian-embedded or debian-handheld lists.
