Right now, I would also be happy to make texlive-minimal a little bit bigger.
The cmr fonts should definitely be included; and I thought I had done so.
If you know what is missing, we could delete a little bit less. To be honest,
the texlive-minimal package does not meet my expectations, since there are
more packages for which it is not sufficient to build the documentation.
But after an afternoon of building and rebuilding it with more or fewer files
deleted, I did not have the energy to continue after it worked on the pari-gp
package with which I made the tests...
