Surely that's a distro decision though?

I'm just guessing, but if the problem you're trying to address is that the 
services get pulled into an image unexpectedly or where they aren't needed, 
then if at all practical it would be best to try to split the packaging such 
that the needed client/utility binaries are available without those services 
and thus the services should never be in an image they are explicitly 
requested.

Cheers,
Paul
