Reviewing all the packages with dselect already takes over an hour.
If this change would mean I would see some packages several times, and
make the review even longer. Please don't!

The latest version of the boot disks has this option. However, there
are only the two profiles I contributed (based on package priorities:
Basic and Standard). Others would be appreciated. For example,
there's nothing with X windows. (I suppose it would have to assume
the vga server.)
Here is how to construct a profile:
dpkg --get-selections >my_selections
sed -e 's/ install/ deinstall/' <my_selections >clear_all
dpkg --set-selections < clear_all
dselect select
# Select the "Networking" packages here, and resolve their dependencies.
dpkg --get-selections > Networking
dpkg --set-selections < my_selections
Note: in the `sed' command, both the pattern and the replacement text
have tabs, not spaces.
The bootfloppies will also handle "extension packs". You woul would
set up the profile in the same way, but the packages in the "base
pack" would have to be manually deleted.
When you're done, mail your selections file (like "Networking" here)
