I have also noticed that Debian installs a lot of "extra" programs by default. For example, when I installed LXDE using the latest (Debian 7) LXDE CD and, I obtained LibreOffice, Iceweasel and Deluge (among many others), none of which are part of LXDE, and of those, I only wanted Icweasel installed since the beginning. If you want to control more precisely which packages get installed, you can also install a text-only system and then add the additional packages with the package manager. It won't give the same results and isn't as flexible as Debootstrap or Multistrap, of course.
