   Quite some gain (Perhaps a part of the gain here is due to arm deb package not on my server, more tidy to come)

   So I looked into this.

   See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59794891/how-does-debian-differ-from-debian-slim

   I got

   $ diff debian-stable-pkgs.txt debian-stable-slim-pkgs.txt
   23,24d22
   < iproute2					install
   < iputils-ping					install
   35,36d32
   < libcap2:amd64					install
   < libcap2-bin					install
   40d35
   < libelf1:amd64					install
   53d47
   < libmnl0:amd64					install
   77d70
   < libxtables12:amd64				install
   

   As the additional packages. iproute2 and iputils-ping are extremely useful as a developer. We can add them in manually but I think #2488 is the way to go here.
