my uneducated suggestion would be dont remove them and do something
like Frans suggests, reason being I am noticing packages that do not
build with files that you would expect especially ones with -dev tags.
or even some not being made like libgcc-dev. But like one off the top
of my head would be if you install libpcap and libcap-dev you still do
not get a pcap.h to use if you compile something on the machine your
built those packages into the image of.
