If the knoppix packages have complete dependancy information, would 
anything of significance be missing if they were simply installed along 
with all dependencies?   Perhaps a meta-package for knoppix could be 
defined which depends on all these (well maybe not openoffice-de-en) and 
also any extra packages which are regarded as fundamental to knoppix or 
are essential to have a "working" system.   Then the answer to this 
question would be "anything which isn't depended on by the knoppix 
package" and I'm sure a script could be written to determine what 
"extra" packages are installed on a system on that basis (or perhaps you 
could apt-get remove everything with knoppix held).

Sorry if this idea has been dismissed before or if I am missing something.
