just for the records a minimal (only base) installation from scratch
results in 52 packages.

Some of the base packages pull others that are not
in the base one, usually libs

eg: libgcc1, libintl8, ..

diffutils is pulled by xz,
bzip2, groff and less are pulled by man

Ihe curious things I notice are:

libgmp3 is pulled by coreutils and gawk
libgmp10 is pulled by libmpfr4 that is pulled by gawk

libpcre1 and libpcr0 are both pulled by grep and this look wrong,
as I see a dependency only for libpcre1.

So repackaging coreutils, gawk and adjusting grep dependency
we could go down to just 50 packages as bare minimal.

Not worth, I should say
