I hope this helps.

True, but in my experience the bulk of the X install is the client tools and libraries anyway, so unless disk space is really tight you might as well install it all anyway and just set the runlevel to run a command-line login.

That would be a lot easier and faster than trying to figure out which packages need to be installed and which ones don't.

UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)

NAME

       update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache

SYNOPSIS

       update-profile-cache

DESCRIPTION

       Running	this  script  (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
       once a day by a cron script.

       NOTE:  No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment  caching  pro-
	      file  assingments  is  only  supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
	      i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

       /etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
