I tried to apt-get that today (on a newish Squeeze install with xfce 
only) and logged it...

Recommended packages (I want these) were :

kregexpeditor-trinity pmount kamera-trinity 
kdemultimedia-kio-plugins-trinity kdm-trinity libtqt3-integration-trinity

The system is still under 3GB. If xfce were not already installed that 
would, however, be a *very* minimal DE.

Thanks for that tip, my custom-package-list is now down from 84 to 58 !
