Debian's "bare bones" install is pretty small, if you want something absolutely specific to your hardware you can build your own kernel, pruning through every module to get only those you need. The thing is it just doesn't matter.
* Programs you are not using are just wasting hard drive space. There is plenty around these days.
* Drivers the systems doesn't need are not loaded
I suggest though if you want to slim your kernel, do 'lsmod' and save the results of that command. You need to keep all of those modules.

The modstat utility displays the status of any kernel modules present in the kernel.
The options are as follows:

In addition to listing the currently loaded modules' name, the information reported by modstat includes:
CLASS Module class, such as "vfs", "driver", "exec", "misc" or "secmodel".
SOURCE Where the module was loaded from. "builtin" indicates that the module was built into the running kernel. "boot" indicates that
the module was loaded during system bootstrap. "filesys" indicates that the module was loaded from the file system.
SIZE Size of the module in bytes.
REFS Number of references held on the module. Disabled builtin modules will show a count of -1 here.
REQUIRES Additional modules that must be present.
EXIT STATUS
The modstat utility exits with a status of 0 on success and with a nonzero status if an error occurs.
