Does this 

  https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/500339/what-makes-up-each-tex-live-install-tl-scheme

shed any light on how to work out which package is part of which option?

The suggestion would be that a "basic", as opposed to a "full", install
would pull in, amomgst others:

 depend knuth-lib
 depend knuth-local
 depend kpathsea

Maybe, armed with that info, you could even ferkel the collections lists
and cut out any bits you didn't want when you do your install?
