How about a link to this scrip? ( I'm assuming it isn't the one I already have? - there are two 
debian build scripts? )

I understand this - but you would have to enable what is installed for them to be an attack vector. 
  My take is 286 packages is too many. Compare it to Apache - lots of complicated bits can be added 
- but the package count isn't even close.

The bits that take up room are content - and that should be packaged in parts.
