Sure. The problem here is that some packages may be irrelevant for some, but very important for others.

So the thread as a whole doesn't really have a point. Other than just an experiment of what packages can be removed (whether you need them or not) without bricking the N900

I mean removing the zzz scripts from rcs.d? Wtf is the point?
The point is cleaning up obsolete debris from ancient Maemo versions, even though it's completely non-functional. I for one like to have a clean system (as clean as I can).

But discussion about non-packages (init scripts) could maybe fit better in the boot process thread.
