Amen.  For larger systems, too, IMHO.  I've been saying this for
years, but even those things which we think of as necessary for
most installs (MTA, DNS, toolchain) should be packages.

The task of paring down what's in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin,
followed by removing anything in /usr/lib that isn't reported as
a dependency by ldd, has been a constant tedium.
