Is this one used in the base system or is it only used for compiling
dbootstrap ?
I don't think it's installed in the base system :
/usr/src/boot-floppies/scripts/basedisks@p200$ grep popt * 2>/dev/null
/usr/src/boot-floppies/scripts/basedisks@p200$

I don't see any problems moving these to base. However netstd is not
completely installed in the base system, it's only used for having
/usr/bin/ftp :
/usr/src/boot-floppies/scripts/basedisks@p200$ cat PARTIAL_PACKAGES_all
netstd
/usr/src/boot-floppies/scripts/basedisks@p200$ cat PARTIAL_PACKAGE_FILES_all
usr/bin/ftp
We may not move it to base.

This one is not in the base system and should never go to it. If some
files are needed from perl then you should file a bug against perl and ask
for moving the files from perl to perl-base.

dpkg-ftp is the first. Having a rapid look, I find these one too :
- libnet-perl
- dpkg-mountable
- data-dumper
And also all the kernel-images but that's ok.

Go for it, and you can do the same thing probably for packages no more in
the base system. We should also change the priority of those packages,
as most of the packages in base are 'standard' and they don't need to
stay standard ...
