eats roughly 10 Mo of space.
librtmp1 libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-db libssh2-1 openssl.
This increases the system's complexity.
smaller subset of "Required" packages (supported in debootstrap by the "minbase" option).
only cost in case it would cause images sizes to increase to the next gigabyte.
transfering it to debian-devel, please go ahead !
