I don't have a summary but the dicussion started here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00466.html

Proposal to also remove bc:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00480.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00558.html

The plan is as far as I followed the discussion to have
a special task to group install the traditional tools.
But it won't be a default anymore one could expect. I've mixed
feelings about it myself but I think most distributions already
moved somewhat away from what you have e.g. in a FreeBSD or OpenBSD
base system.

Cheers,
