I started looking into this to clean up my dom0. I'll edit this comment if I find more packages that can be removed. Here's the list so far:
initial-setup-gui
(note: removes Yelp but there wasn't really any content in Yelp anyway)openssh
NetworkManager
(note: removes some DHCP packages; not sure if these are involved in networking - also removes libblockdev, thus libblockdev-btrfs, thus btrfs-progs which may be a problem on btrfs roots)usbutils
usb_modeswitch
I've only just rebooted, but so far everything seems OK with these packages gone.
More potential packages:
xfsprogs
, but that removes some other admin stuff that may be wanted like gdisk. Removes storaged and libsecret too but I'm pretty sure that's ok.zip
xfce4-cellmodem-plugin
xdg-user-dirs
unbound-libs
guile
(removes openssl
)Note that the packages in the second list are just those I saw when looking. I haven't necessarily tested them and they may be in the second list because I don't fully understand the implications of removing them.
There are also some packages, e.g. glusterfs
, that really don't belong, but removing them gives the error Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: qubes-core-dom0.
Seems like there's some (indirect) dependency weirdness going on.
I just discovered that there's initial-setup
(and a whole bunch of its dependencies) installed as well, besides initial-setup-gui
.
