I installed debian-live-11.1.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso and updated onto a 
amd64 computer for graphical desktop usage (e.g. "daily driver"):

2022-01-04 17:57:07 root@laalaa ~
# cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
11.2
Linux laalaa 5.10.0-10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.84-1 (2021-12-08) x86_64 
GNU/Linux


I noted that the install was larger (11+ GB) than previous installs 
using *-xfce-CD-1.iso Debian installers (~6 GB).


I like to keep my root partition small (~13 GB) and have been looking 
ways to free up space -- e.g 'apt clean', 'apt-get autoremove', 'apt-get 
purge ...', etc..


I have previously removed libreoffice language packages:

2021-12-05 17:36:22 root@laalaa ~
# dpkg-query -l 'libreoffice*' | egrep '^ii.+language' | perl -ane 
'print $F[1], "\n"' | xargs apt-get -y remove
...
After this operation, 874 MB disk space will be freed.


Using dpkg-query(1), It appears that an ARM toolchain was installed, 
which I do not expect to use.  If I purge it, will I lose something I need?

2022-01-04 17:58:02 root@laalaa ~
# dpkg-query -W -f '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' '*arm-*' 2>&1 | 
sort -rn

Are there other packages that I should consider purging?
