Johannes Schauer dixit:

Do note you may not* remove any package that is Essential: yes,
or the package build-essential and its dependencies.

*) Removing gcc-X.Y-base (and its dependencies) when newer ones
   exist and they are otherwise unused is file, though, of course.
   Same for old libraries (like liblzma2 used to be (transitively,
   I think) Essential, was replaced by liblzma5, but the old one
   still present in the chroots).

Stéphane, I actually don’t block Googlemail, they’re just too utterly
stupid to successfully deliver to me (or anyone else using Greylisting
and not whitelisting their ranges). Same for a few other providers such
as Hotmail. Some spammers (Yahoo) I do block.
