Packages
It is possible to remove the following non-essential packages (apt-get autopurge them):
aptitude
cpio
cron
cron-daemon-common
debconf-i18n
eatmydata
fdisk
gnupg
gpgv
haveged
ifupdown
iproute2
iputils-ping
isc-dhcp-client
isc-dhcp-common
less
libbpf1
libcap2-bin
libglib2.0-bin
libglib2.0-data
libjansson4
libmnl0
