IIUC the goal of Debian designers might be summarized as maximizing
functionality for the broadest possible audience. And when there is a
large enough audience for "power tools" there are Debian Pure Blends.
That works very well *most* of the time.
But when it doesn't, it is VERY annoying ;{
Problems include:
1. Download bandwidth or data cap constraints.
{aggravated by treating "recommends" as "depends"}
2. Very large undesired packages {e.g. LibreOffice}
3. Applications cluttering menus for which one uses a better
alternative. {I prefer SeaMonkey over Firefox}
My proposed alternative is to leave unchecked all options on the
"Software Selection" menu[1] and create appropriate pseudo-packages to
be installed with "apt-get --no-install-recommends"
MY QUESTIONS
1. How do I find which packages are explicitly installed by checking a
specific box {primarily Mate}?
2. How do I search the repository for those packages that have a
priority “standard”? [2]
3. Especially when installing from an .iso on a flash drive, how do
I run apt-get before closing the installer?
TIA
