This is the result of the Debian policy of installing a maximum of
packages because it's free. I'm not saying this against libreoffice; I
use it sometimes but not on all hosts. I bet more than half the packages
installed in Debian are never used and the user even ignores what
they're for. The result is a longer installation process and time wasted
in upgrading packages one never uses
I've seen also that wifi tools are installed automatically when
selecting a desktop environment, even if the host has no wifi interface!
