Perhaps your apt is installing recommended packages (instead of just
required?) You can test it by giving the option --no-recommends to
aptitude (short: -R).

If you want to make this setting permanent, you add a file under
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d (named, for example, no-preferences) wih a line

  APT::Install-Recommends no;
